The waterfall is high in the mountains, and therefore has a pulsating character. Its runoff depends on air temperature . The largest runoff occurs in July - August . In the cold season, the melting of the glacier , which lies at an altitude of about 4000 m above sea level, practically ceases, and only ice stains remain on the rocks in place of the waterfall. In the spring and summer periods, landslides can occur from the end of the Zeygalan glacier. [2]
