Owing to the steep gradient of the Alborz Mountain Ranges in Mazandaran Province, where multiple rivers take their source, a number of waterfalls are also present. These are generally located in the central portion of the mountain range. The spring and summer seasons, with a pleasant climate, are suitable periods to visit the sites. Alamol Waterfall, Amol The said waterfall flows from the northern slopes of the Damavand Mountains, and is more than 100 m. in height. The massive output of water from this waterfall forms a spray like mist in the air and brings about a wonderful sight. Eidj (Dahqoloo) Waterfall, Ramsar This waterfall gains its flow permanently from the melting snows of the Cheshm Chal Mountains in the heights of Eshkavar-e-Oliya. After flowing for a distance, it cascades from a rock onto another, and then forms numerous other waterfalls, thus flowing into the depth of the Eshkavar-e-Oliya Valley. The focal point of this waterfall is its major output of water, and the cave-like cavities formed in the rocks behind this waterfall. Springs are also present around this vicinity, coupled with the enhancing weather conditions and beautiful landscape of the permanent glaciers of the Cheshm Chal Mountains and the flora and fauna which in itself is a sight to witness. Harijan Waterfall, Chaloos This waterfall is located in the village by the same name near the Hezar Cham Gorge on Tehran - Chaloos Road. It has a height of more than 9 m. and is one of the beautiful waterfalls of the Alborz Mountains. The surrounding landscape forms a colorful picture, and falling down, this waterfall divides into a number of waterfalls. Access to this vicinity can be gained by vehicle. Yakhi Waterfall, Amol This waterfall is spectacular in that it is completely frozen, and is at an elevation of 5,100 m. in the vicinity of the Dood Kooh Mountains near the Damavand Peak. The same has a height of 70 m. and is 3 m. in girth which is in a state of constant increment. This increase is due to the trickle of water from the melting glacier above it, in the summer months at noon. This trickle flows alongside the waterfall, thereby adding to it. The same continues for a short while and soon freezes. The said waterfall is one of its own in the world. Other Waterfalls, Mazandaran Other important waterfalls in Mazandaran Province are as follows: The Ziyar Waterfall, (Ab-e-Sheikh Ali Khan), Akapol waterfall in Sardi Chal (Kalar Dasht Chaloos), Savasareh in the district of Balladeh, Shahan Dasht in Larijan near the Malek Bahman peak, Azarak in Sang Posht-e-Ramsar, Chardar in Roodbar Ramsar, Teemareh in Vana-e- Amol, Parumeh in Shams Abad (Larijan), Ranget in Ranget (Behshahr), Reesh Boraz in Roodbar Ramsar and the Darab Kella waterfall in Darab Kaie (Sary). |
