Abshir-Ata Waterfall

Abshir Ata waterfall is noted for its stormy white horizontal torrent that pours straight out from a vertical granite face. The whole length of the Abshir Sai gorge was produced naturally as water rushes out of a tiny karst cave. The water of the Abshir- Sal River is also said to have medical powers, and guides frequently urge travelers to swim in these healing waters and bring some water with them for later use.

Along the path to the jailoos, there are a number of little gift stores, and the sellers are glad to share the tales and wonders of Abshir-Ata with tourists. The name of the location, which means "a water-milk spring" in Tajik, was given to it during the period of the earliest Tajik settlements in the region. Due to the abundance of cafés and stores constructed in the soviet architecture, the waterfall region is today quite popular with tourists. The area is often visited by residents, and it was primarily designed to meet their requirements and preferences. Although the waterfalls and the top of the wall are typically obscured by clouds, it is still incredibly magnificent to watch the water pour down the wall as rain falls all around you in the lushest setting possible.
