Introduction to Tehran Waterfall Park: one of the roofs in west of the Iran capital

To reach this mountainous park you have to reach the westernmost point of the capital. It is above Chitgar Lake and Forest Park, near Latmal Kan Forest Park.

It boasts a lush area in the arid mountains of Tehran, an area renowned for its artificial waterfall and called Waterfall Park.

These days, the park has become more popular due to its attractive hiking trails and lush mountain roads and many begin their early mornings by walking in this beautiful park and viewing the West of Tehran.

When you are on your way to the waterfall park, the scenery of the surrounding buildings and the dry mountains of the route will bring some questions to your mind.

Questions like whether the garden you are looking for is really a lush and good place for entertainment or the others has exaggerated about its beauty?

But when you step out of the complex parking lot and look around and see the view of the park and your surroundings, you can feel so comfortable that you have not come all the way in vain.

2. Artificial waterfall and small and large ponds

Along the way to reach the top of the waterfall park on each floor of the park, you will find small and large artificial ponds and waterfalls that make the area more beautiful and cooler.
