The Trip to Abshar-e
Talezang
The Talezang waterfall is located
somewhere between Doroud (in Lorestaan) and
Andimeshk (in Khouzestaan). Railway is the only
way to get there. You must get ride for Ahwaz (or
Andimeshk). The railway station is near the
origin of DEZ dam. There is also another
waterfall, BISHEH, which is some similar to this
one. It is also in this way, just several
stations before it.
When you get of
the train, you must pass the DEZ river. (There is
the railway bridge). Then you have 6-7 hours walk/climbing.

The Valley in the way of waterfall |

Pomegranate and Palm trees
|
The way is also very
beautiful if you go in the right season. There
were a lot of beautiful KHARZAHREH flowers. A
nice garden, with a lot of pomegranate (ANAR)
trees was on the way! You could also find some
date palm trees!! Strange, yeah?!!
When you go up the
mount you would see oak trees too. Near the
waterfall, there are some rocks you must climb.
It is some difficult, if you are a beginner in
mount climbing. But there is enough support for
the feet on the rocks.
|
| You couldn't see the waterfall
unless you get the last bend. After a long
walking, climbing, the view of the waterfall
really shocked me. It really shocked everybody!
That's really great. You could see this view in
following photos. Imagine, after a long walk and
not seeing a bit of the target you see this huge
waterfall. The greatness of the view never can be
felt via the photos! |

The waterfall, I guess, is
some 70-80 meters high and 50-60 meters wide.
This huge amount of water comes directly from the
big rock! The green view of the waterfall and its
side is astonishing for Iranians who are always
hungry for green! I couldn't stop myself shooting
photos and photos as well as Afshin, Hamid and
everyone who got a camera!! After setting up the tents, we rushed
for swimming. Although there was some little rain
and whether was cool, we all get into the water!!
It was cold but freshening. In some parts the
depth was enough to swim.
After this very enjoyable
activity, we have the launch! The nice friends
had prepared STANBOLY POLO!!!
At night the whether was so
cool that we could sleep out of tend in our snap-bags,
with the nice lullaby of the waterfall and nice
view of clear starry sky.
|
| Soon in the morning, I and
Afshin get up, and start to explore the upper
part of the way. There were other waterfalls
which was smaller than the main one. As we
climbed, the mount become greener and the density
of trees was increasing. A thin jungle of oak
trees. There was a MALRO way for gypsy tribes on
their KOUCH. Somebody said this way goes to
Dezful. We found a small gypsy family, which was
making KASHK. We soon
get back to others who were packing. We sadly
said farewell to the nice waterfall. I really
missed it as missing somebody.

There were still the
rocks to get down. You know getting down the
rocks is more difficult to climb. Anyway, we had
to wait to get down one by one, holding the
strings. It was sunny and when you get downer and
downer the temperature. We couldn't help
ourselves when we saw a nice pool of water formed
by rocks. Now we spend much more time in water
because it was warm outside. But we had to hurry
down, because the train was expected to be in
station about 4:00. As the sun was coming upper
and upper and we were getting down from hills,
the temperature was increasing. It was some
annoying but there were some river and fountain
to refresh. |
| I think our trip was in the
right season. We went on 21 ordibehesht - May 11.
I think it gets hot if you get later. (You know,
it is Khozesatan). In the first day, we had a
chance and it was cloudy, and there was also some
rain. The best whether!! The night was also so
cool and nice! Only the returning was some hot.
You could go there one or two weeks earlier. But
remember not to loose the chance of swimming! The
swimming in the river is the really fun you have
there! I enjoyed this
trip so much. I hope you can go there!
