Shirabad Waterfall

Shirabad Waterfall, also known as Khan Bebin Waterfall, Agha Khan Bebin Waterfall or the Seven Waterfalls of Shirabad, is one of the most amazing natural attractions in Golestan Province. This series of cascading waterfalls lies in Shirabad Forest Park, near the village of Shirabad in Ramian County. The Shirabad waterfalls consist of 12 small and large falls along the Shirabad River. However, because of its seven main waterfalls, the complex is also known as the Seven Waterfalls of Shirabad.

The waterfalls vary in height. The first fall in the series starts at 25 metres above sea level, and the tallest falls reach 35 metres. The pools that have formed at the foot of the waterfalls also vary in depth, and some of them reach 80 metres. The individual waterfalls are known by names such as Bride, Hidden and Twin, each referring to its own distinctive features.

Close to these waterfalls, another sight worth seeing is the Div-e Sefid Cave (White Demon Cave) in Shirabad village, which lies on the route between the first and second waterfalls. The cave is 235 metres long, needs no special caving equipment, and is of great environmental importance because it is the habitat of the cave salamander in this region. A narrow stream of water also flows along the cave floor and runs down to the waterfalls. In addition, Maran Castle, near Shirabad Waterfall, is an important historical attraction. The castle is located 10 kilometres from Ramian and, besides its historical value, stands in an exceptional natural setting, so a visit combines history and nature for travellers. By visiting this area you can enjoy a different kind of nature tourism and historical exploration in the heart of an unrivalled natural landscape.
