How Can We Get to The Shui Waterfall?

Luckily getting to the waterfall is easy, thanks to the two railways as well as the car route. 

One of the railway stations is the Tele Zang station which lies three hours away from Durood Lorestan station. If you desire to catch the train, you must be there by 1:30 a.m. Do not worry. There is a mosque where you can stay the night, close to the station for safety reasons.

The train will move from Durood to Andimeshk and reach its destination. 

Another route is via the Sardasht Dezful as well as the Pirchel area. It is, in total, a 130 km long road that actually starts from the Dezful and finally leads to the Shui waterfall.

All you need to do is take the train from Dezful to Shahyoun, and then there is a five km long path around the Shui that you should take starting from the Nan Pir or Goshe. Do not get disappointed seeing the dirt road that is almost 35 km which will take you an hour to reach the waterfall. In the end, you will see that it was worth it. 

On the other hand, you should also know about the walking path that takes you to this gorgeous fall. Starting from the Shui village, there is a water stream that will game you to the gorge, which is very dangerous.

Hence you need a guide for it. Due to this, a part of the mountain is even closed with the help of a wire that will help passengers to pass the gorge with the help of it. Starting from the foot of the Shui waterfall, it will take you around one and a half hours to reach.

If you are more of a climber, you can choose the other route: climbing the mountain instead of going from the river route. The first route, to be precise, is less dangerous and is even traveled by the nomads living there daily. So be careful and enjoy the journey while planning to visit the Shui waterfall.
