Abshar Dogholu is situated at the elevation of nearly 2750 meters above sea level and is accessible via a route passing through Sarband, Pas-Ghaleh to Shirpala shelter.[3] It literally means Twin Falls and that is because of its natural shape of flowing over the cliff which divides to two separate branches where falling down. The headwaters of the stream is the melting ice and snow on mount Tochal[4][5]
