Shalmash Falls

Shalmash Falls is a cluster of three waterfalls situated on the outskirts of the City of Sardasht in the West Azerbaijan province of Iran.[1] Near the border with Iraq, they can be easily viewed from stairs built for visitors to these waterfalls. The falls are each about 10 metres (33 ft) high.[1] In addition to being a scenic site, their environs are used for recreation, including swimming.[1] These falls are along a branch of the Little Zab River.[2] The waterfalls are at their most substantial flow during the spring. The weather of the region is cold until the middle of spring.[3]
