Trip to Iskanderkul waterfall or Fann Niagara. Iskanderkul Lake, one of Tajikistan’s most picturesque natural wonders, is nestled within the Fann Mountains in the Sughd Province. Known for its stunning turquoise waters, the lake sits at an elevation of approximately 2,195 meters, making it one of the highest lakes in the region. Surrounded by towering peaks and dense forests, Iskanderkul is not only a significant attraction for nature enthusiasts but also plays a vital role ecologically, providing a habitat for various species of flora and fauna.
The hike to the 43-meter-high waterfall, often referred to as the “Fann Niagara,” is a relatively easy 5-kilometer walk through scenic terrain. Tucked away in a narrow rocky gorge, the waterfall may not be particularly photogenic due to its unusual angle, yet it offers a truly impressive sight. Standing on the viewing platform above the gorge, visitors can experience the raw power of the water as it cascades forcefully below. This site is especially popular among local residents, and it is not uncommon to encounter families or groups of friends enjoying food and drinks nearby—many of whom may warmly invite travelers to join their picnic.
