Overview
Kairak Waterfall is the tallest in the gorge at 55 m, situated on a tributary of the Bozgul River at 2,210 m elevation. The final approach involves a short steep section before the viewpoint platform opens onto the full cascade. The power of the water has carved a visible tunnel through the rock at the base. On warm days the mist reaches well down the slope. Allow 30–40 minutes at the waterfall for lunch and photos before the return leg. September and October bring the most dramatic light and autumn colour in the forest below; July and August are cooler and less crowded early in the morning.
