Visadar Waterfall

The untapped nature has long been a source of tranquility for human beings as the modernization process is reformulating and reshaping our very own habits, environments and ultimately lives. Now while that may be a necessity, it does have its consequences which would leave us with various types of anxieties and debilitative preoccupations. The best way to deal with these anxieties is to reconnect with nature and that is what attracts a lot of visitors to places such as Visadar Waterfall in Iran’s Gilan Province. The wild nature and the peaceful atmosphere of this area has made it a safe haven for Iranian and foreign visitors alike. There are a number of waterfalls in Gilan Province but none could provide the uncanny and the solitary experience that Visadar Waterfall offers to its visitors.

 

Now, in every country or region in the world, there are parts that have survived the touch of the great civilization machine more than others. In Iran, the northern coast which neighbors the Caspian Sea is one of these places. The Gilan Province which is considered the most visited and the most reputable for its scenic nature, leads the country in providing the most preserved and beautiful natural locations; mystifying forests such as the Fandoqlu Forest, peaceful waterfalls such as Visadar Waterfall, green fields and hills such as Satan’s Hill, and of course the Caspian Sea. Among the above-mentioned Gilan tourist attractions, one has stayed the closest to its natural state and that is the Visadar Waterfall. This natural wonder is considered the third highest waterfall in Gilan, but definitely the leading candidate for the most beautiful. The name Visadar means “Shadow of the Willow Tree” and truly befits this place as it adequately captures its serene and peaceful essence. Standing below this sublime waterfall, gazing at its elegance, and listening to the hypnotizing sound of the falling water is a heavenly combination rarely found which could rid you of any preoccupations and help you refresh your mind. Among all the trees, the rocks and the exotic birds singing, there is a bridge you can walk on to look at the furious untamed river underneath. This would definitely spike your adrenaline levels instantly as there is some excitement and fear involved as well.

This spectacular waterfall is located in Talesh Forest in the Paresar region. The Paresar Town is part of Rezvanshahr City, in the western half of the Gilan Province. Visadar Waterfall is 15 km from the Paresar Town and if you decide to visit the town first, a 5-dollar taxi ride could get you from Paresar to the waterfall. Also, Visadar Waterfall is approximately 90 km from the Rasht City, the capital of Gilan, and it would take a 2-hour trip which would cost you 30 dollars to go there. However, this gorgeous waterfall may be listed in one of the many Gilan tours available when you decide to visit. Some of these great tour packages are Gilan trekking tours, Caspian Sea nature tours and Caspian Sea boat riding tours.
