Akapol Waterfall

Akapol Waterfall lies in the heart of the dense, green forests of the Alborz, so it is very rich and diverse in both flora and fauna. The forests around Akapol Waterfall are covered with tall, sturdy trees such as oak, beech, ironwood (Persian maple), alder and elm. In the shade of the tall trees you will see a variety of shrubs and bushes, such as wild medlar, blackberry, barberry and wild plum. On the forest floor grow many kinds of herbaceous plants, such as ferns, borage and wild mint. The forests around the waterfall are also home to various mammals, including wild boar, leopard, brown bear, fox, wolf, jackal, hare and squirrel. Many species of birds, such as falcons, eagles, partridges, pheasants, nightingales and starlings, live in the area, along with many kinds of insects, such as butterflies, dragonflies, bees and ants.

Thanks to its mountain location, Akapol Waterfall has a cool, mild mountain climate. The best time to visit depends on your own taste, but in general spring and summer are the best seasons to see the waterfall.
