Sheikh Ali Khan Waterfall

Sheikh Ali Khan Waterfall is located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, near the town of Chelgerd, at the entrance to the village of Sheikh Ali Khan. Known as the "Miniature Waterfall of Iran," it springs from natural springs near the village and flows through a rocky gorge, cascading down in a beautiful and enchanting way. The height of Sheikh Ali Khan Waterfall is divided into two sections. The first section is about 70 meters high and the second is about 30 meters high. Together, these two sections form Sheikh Ali Khan Waterfall.

The area around the waterfall is covered with lush pastures, medicinal plants and natural springs, offering visitors an unspoiled, relaxing experience of mountain nature. There are no amenities in the area. Near the waterfall, there are only a few stone-and-cement platforms built for tourists to sit on. In spring and summer, with its cool climate and abundant water, Sheikh Ali Khan Waterfall offers an excellent opportunity for a direct, immersive experience of nature. In these seasons, the surrounding plains, with blooming fritillaries (inverted tulips) and mountain meadows, look colorful and delightful. In winter, the water flow decreases and the waterfall freezes; it forms icicles that sometimes reach a meter in length, creating a unique attraction and a novel experience.

To reach the waterfall, first head from Shahrekord or Farsan toward Chelgerd, and after reaching the village of Sheikh Ali Khan, continue along a short asphalt road. This point is about 12 kilometers from Chelgerd, and after entering the village, a gentle, easy walk of about 5 minutes brings you to the foot of the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the weather is cool, the nature is lush and the water flows fresh and full. In winter, the road may be snowy and icy, and seeing the ice icicles is a delightful experience but requires special equipment.
