Seyahat planı açıklaması
Find a safe place to park the car. Here in photo labeled as start finish we have found a good place to park the car.
After quick walk on the main road we have reached the dirt road to follow (Included in waypoints).
Follow the road suitable for 4W cars with an easy ascent. The road will get narrower with time, upon arrival to a water station take the upper path as we tried to walk down and the gate was closed from the other side.
As you pass the water station, great views and landscapes will be on your sights. You will be walking on the edge most of the time but the road is easy to follow.
We had a quick stop in shadow on the hand made benches near the water canal, we have continued near that canal a long way till we reached the river and walk by the river till reaching the waterfall. At there follow directions to waterfall in case you lose the trail as we went up through bushes until we have reached a good place and get very close to the waterfall.
Have high shoes for mud, waterproof clothes and backpack as the water spray is everywhere.
We followed the same road back till the waypoint where we go down to the valley and walk by the river.
Down there, cross the old bridge and follow the footpath. We have crossed the river two times by bridge, two times by finding the best route on wet rocks. Be aware not to slip on these. During summer the river will be dry and things will be much easier.
This walk by the river is magical and mystical and especially the period before twilight when obscurity starts to fall and you need to arrive before total darkness.
Upon arrival to the hydraulic station, follow asphalt road that will leads you back finally to the car.
Overall moderate to difficult level.
I give it this rate because of the waterfall part, river crossing at this time of year and the total length.
Just be sure to have enough time to enjoy the beauty of everything around you. We have started this hike at 1 pm and took us near around 6 hours with little more than 1hour by the waterfall.
Do your duty to keep nature a beauty and always be kind to everything that lives :)

Very beautiful sceneries with untouched nature. It's not a loop yet it's a must do. Preferable during spring because of the water levels coming down the waterfalls.
HI Amrou,
Indeed now it is best time before water level decreases.
Instead of going back the same path, you could take the down trail by the river which will lead you back to the start point.
The trail in the valley is magical and highly recommended !
