Embark on a thrilling 7-day adventurous journey with Nomads, taking you to the heart of the magnificent Mt. Zagros and immersing you in the authentic Nomadic lifestyle. This trekking and camping adventure will be an unforgettable experience.

Hiking through the wilds of Bakhtiari hinterlands, you will follow the ancient nomadic pathways alongside a Nomad family during their seasonal migration. Witness the beauty of the Zagros Mountains as you reach the peak, marvel at the panoramic views, and observe the epic migration of the Nomads. Spend your nights under the starry sky in a Nomadic tent, surrounded by green pastures and the sounds of bells from the herds of animals.

This 7-day trek offers the best of Zagros trekking, allowing you to walk in the footsteps of the Nomads and discover the beauty of the nomadic trails in an unforgettable adventure. Experience the thrill of migrating on foot with a flock of sheep and goats, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Travel Itinerary

An early morning flight brings you to Ahvaz. We pick you up from the airport. After breakfast, we will have a short visit to Ahvaz and Karoon River. Then we drive to Haft-Tappeh (excavation site, which consists of dozens of hills) and Tchogha-Zanbil (a ziggurat of the Elamite domination era). In the afternoon, you can tour Shushtar’s historical watermills. We will have lunch in the traditional Mostofi Museum and Restaurant. You will stay the night in Shushtar.

This morning, we drive to Negin Bridge and Shimbar Waterfall. We will have lunch in a local home which is the last point we have electricity. In case we have more free time, we will visit Dezpart Steps. In the afternoon, we will have a 3/4-hour hiking to reach the Nomad’s black tent in Mt. Zagros. Tonight, under a starry sky, we will have a hot meal & cozy tent to camp to gather our strength for the next day which is the day of KUCH (Migration)!

This morning, take in the spectacular view of the flock wandering around the surrounding green pastures. Today is the day of Migration: A Great Day for the Nomads. For 3 days we accompany them in their epic migration in Zagros mountain ranges. During these 3 days, we have an overall of 42 km hiking. ‘Flexibility’ is a keyword, since there is no fixed plan due to the Nomad͛s flexible routine. While moving behind the flock in Zagros mountainous regions, don’t forget to devour the scenic beauty of the area – a view you never forget. You are all surrounded by imposing mountains or oak trees with the sound of sheep’s bell in your ears. Take photos and soak up the view. In the afternoon, when the Nomads stop moving & set up the black tent, you have planty of quiet to enjoy the spectacular surroundings. At nights, a cool night’s sleep under the starry sky in the lower mountain temperatures would be quite enjoyable. You never forget the authentic nomadic lifestyle you experience while doing Kuch.

On day 5, we say goodbye to the Nomads to continue our expedition to an amazing green village called Khouye. After 3 days migration with the nomads, a comfortable cozy village house would be a perfect lodge. Here we are rewarded with vast fruit gardens and wonderful old village houses. From the village, we will also have a fabulous view of the surrounding mountains. We will stay in the village for the night.

After breakfast, we have the chance to go through the village. Then after bidding farewell to our host family, we will go to an amazing historical stepped village; Sar Agha Seyed Village. Here we have the chance of appreciating the views of the old village houses where the yard of one, is the roof of the other. Zagros has always been the highest and hardest part of each nomadic migration. For more than thousands of years, Nomads have stopped in this village on their way to summer or winter pastures. We will hike for 15 minutes and visit a salt mine near the village. Then we will continue our road to Chelgerd where we will stay in a Hotel. Koohrang Spring is the next awesome destination. It is the biggest spring in Iran which is very rarely visited by passengers due to the exposed nature of the place & the rough road. For the night, we will get back the hotel.

Today, we do some sightseeing. Visiting Dimeh Spring & the plain of Koohrang’s reversed tulips reward us with the most stunning view. We will then go to Shahr-e Kord and Isfahan.

    Everything was arranged very efficiently. Nothing went wrong. Our guide, Mostafa Farhadi, was remarkable. Not only was he a brilliant driver, but his knowledge of the culture, history and contemporary life of Iran was amazing. He also had superb contacts in all the places we visited.

    Most we enjoyed the landscape and wildlife we saw, it was just amazing and not comparable with nature we found in Germany and Europe, one of my greatest experiences! Second we enjoyed the kindness of you guys (Mehdi, Negin and her family, and the two houses we stayed) it was like meeting family and friends :)

    Christian Robin and Tim
