About this place

The water comes out of springs in the Zagros rock and falls in steps down a narrow cleft, so the whole place is cool even in August. Wooden platforms sit right over the water for tea and kebab, and a lane of shops sells honey, nuts and toys. It is the busiest picnic spot in the Rawanduz area, so a weekday visit is calmer.

Visiting times

Open all day. Shops and tea houses from morning until late in summer; many close in winter.

Times can change on holidays and in bad weather. Ask us in the direct chat if you need the current hours.
