One of the most spectacular natural attractions in Iraqi Kurdistan, this stunning waterfall cascades down from the Zagros Mountains. The waterfall is particularly impressive in spring when snowmelt increases the water flow. The surrounding area offers beautiful hiking trails, picnic spots, and cool respite from summer heat, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
