If you're just here to relax, it's worth sampling the village's schizophrenic atmosphere at Arslanbob's signature waterfalls. Neither are especially memorable per se but the excitable local tourists buying candy-floss, yoghurt-balls and dodgey ice creams are fun to observe. And just walking there you'll get a better sense of the village's layout, impressive setting and part-timbered older mud-brick architecture. Just beyond the top of the smaller, more accessible Twin Waterfall , a footpath leaves behind the melee of souvenir stalls and crosses the stream. It zig-zags up for 15 minutes cutting through a brief taster of the walnut grove then emerging onto an upper bank with glorious views over the Babash-Ata peaks. You can distantly make out the narrow 80m ribbon of the Long Waterfall , which is probably more satisfying than the two-hour walk to get there (locals go by 4WD) and 15-minute scree scramble to the base.
