Palovit Waterfall

Palovit Şelalesi

A large waterfall hidden deep in the Palovit Valley, with water pouring straight down from forested cliffs. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the northern slopes of the Kaçkar Mountains.

Palovit Waterfall lies in the Palovit Valley, south of Çamlıhemşin. It drops about 100 meters with abundant water and is surrounded by dense beech and rhododendron forest. A mountain road branches off the Fırtına Valley toward Elevit Plateau. After about 1 hour on a dirt road, you reach a viewpoint below the waterfall, where you can park by the road. Most visitors combine it with Elevit Plateau and Zilkale as a day trip. The mountain road is narrow and winding, so it is advisable to hire a local driver or join a jeep tour.
