Nestled in the stunning northern region of Iraq, amidst the rugged mountainous landscape of the Kurdistan Region, lies the captivating Bekhal Waterfall. This natural marvel is situated in the Erbil Governorate, just 10 km west of Rawandiz and 135 km from the bustling city of Erbil.
As you approach the Bekhal Summer Resort, the melodious sound of the cascading waterfall lures you in, inviting you to witness its beauty. The waterfall, a crystalline stream of water, gracefully descends down the mountain’s center, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Upon reaching the mountain’s base, you’ll discover a vibrant bazaar bustling with activity, offering a variety of local handicrafts and mouth-watering delicacies at the food stalls. For the adventurous souls, climbing the somewhat slippery steps to the top of the waterfall is a must-do experience. At the summit, the panoramic vista of the surroundings is truly awe-inspiring.
You can also quench your thirst with sweet and refreshing mineral water straight from the source. Bekhal serves as a sanctuary from the scorching summer heat, providing enchanting natural landscapes and a pleasant climate that entices thousands of tourists, both local and foreign, year after year.
