This perennial waterfall is located deep within the beautiful forests of Pardanan. Kharpaap Waterfall is situated 22 kilometers south of Piranshahr, nestled in the heart of the Pardanan forests. It is 15 meters high reaching its biggest size during the spring, due to the melting of snow in the mountains and the rainfall of the spring season.
