About
IRANomad Tours presents authentic, once-in-a-life travel experiences, expressly designed to showcase the lifestyle of the nomad tribes and to promote responsible and sustainable tourism. Our tours provide unique opportunities to meet and trek with nomadic tribes as they migrate with their goats, sheep & mules. With the help of translators, you will be able to converse with the nomads and learn about their culture; you will sleep how they sleep, eat what they eat, and go where they go. These are adventure tours. Immerse yourself in the dazzling landscapes of the Zagros Mountains, their deep valleys, soaring peaks, and beautiful flora and fauna. Be prepared for the unexpected. Be ready to be flexible. We travel by the rules of the nomads; their activities decide our daily routines. As part of your tour, our guides will also take you to fascinating off-the-beaten-track historical and cultural sites and places of exquisite natural beauty. #Culture #Adventure #IRANnomad #CulturalAdventure

I joined the Kooch tour with IRANomad this autumn. It is undoubtedly a dreamy and magical experience to me.
In this two weeks journey, we stayed with a very lovely bakhtiari family. We hiked in the breathtaking Zagros Mountains and went through the amazing valleys with the family and their goats. I was really surprised by the overwhelming landscapes as it changed everyday in the migration.
The nomad family is very friendly and welcoming despite we have language barriers. We ate every meals together, played games, cooked meals to each others, slept under the starry sky etc. We just have a lot of good memories with the family.
Our guide Mohammad is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history and living styles of the nomads. He was only taking care of us in every detail, but also the nomad family I stayed with and other nomad families we met on route of the migration. With Mohammad, there was nothing to be worried even the route is a bit challenging to me.
The nomads in Iran are definitely a hidden gem of Persian culture. If you are looking for a unique experience and a deeper insight in their culture, I would highly recommend the Kooch tour with IRANomad.

I just came back from my trip visiting Iran with IranNomadTours and it has been a wonderful trip to keep in my memory for ever. We visited the main beautiful Iran cities from Teheran to Shiraz, isfahan, Yazd and Kashan. Also the qeshm island and varzaneh desert but the highlight of the trip was our trip to the zagros mountains to meet the nomads. We knew diferent nomad families and learnt about their culture and living, their crafts and we could enjoy and be welcoming everywhere with their hospitability. I really recommend Irannomadtours and specially if hou can spend some days on the mountains with the nomads. Is a great experience and you will have the choice to know another Iran. Mohammad and Sarah are the owners and they will take care of you and make your experience amazing.

Dear Maria,
We’ve already missed your group, we enjoyed your company every second on this trip. Thank you for your support and kind words! We’d never forget how much fun we had with the nomads and how well you blended in with all the families. We're looking forward to seeing you again!

A unique experience! It's hard to put into words what impressed me more. The sounds of the herd that accompanied us until sleep or the rhythm of BIBI TAJ while baking bread. I would recommend this trip to all people who love nature and are not afraid of a rudimentary lifestyle. Sarah provided us as a guide with all the essentials, but what I would highly recommend are wet wipes, a soap for washing hands and cream for dry lips. Otherwise you are well advised with all the tips that can be found on fern website. Let yourself be enchanted by the mountains and lakes atmosphere around the campfire with the ASHAYER. Have a good trip!

Exceptional trip and service from airport pick-up to drop-off. Sara and her team made everything smooth and stress-free. The team helped with everything – from obtaining my visa to booking beautiful hotels.
The car provided was very comfortable, and the journey felt effortless as we traveled from city to city and explored the beautiful landscapes of Iran. One of the absolute highlights was the experience in the Zagros Mountains, where we spent time with nomads. It was an amazing and eye-opening adventure – a rare opportunity to glimpse into a unique way of life.
The guides were fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to help. I saw the stunning cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz, each with its own charm and character. I especially loved the in-depth historical insights Sara provided at Persepolis. Without Sara's expertise, my experience of this ancient site wouldn't have been the same. Her passion and depth of knowledge brought history to life in such a meaningful way.
Thank you for introducing me to the full spectrum of Persian tea culture! Not many tea houses left we haven’t visited.
This trip exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t recommend this experience highly enough to anyone considering a visit to Iran. A huge thank you to Iran Nomad Tours for an unforgettable journey!

I'm very please with Iranomad, they are very professional, they took care of every detail during my trip in Iran, having a Zoom before the trip to know my tour guide, picking me up from the airport in Tehran, rearranging the itinerary due to a missing flight (lost 1 day), meals, hotels, transportation. My tour guide Saeed is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. I totally recommend this company.

Travelling to Iran is an experience itself. A country full of wonders and culture, with beautiful cities and landscape. So it is a trip that I highly recommend.
However, if you are looking for something really authentic and unforgettable, join Iran Nomad Tours and include in your itinerary some days in Zagros mountains, living with Nomads. You will not regret it.

I have travelled quite much and never found such a unique experience!
We did a three day journey living with the nomads, not the migration (the kooch).
I am in my mid fifties and not in a good shape. I was afraid of the walking to reach them, even if we were not doing the migration.
Mohammad and Sarah, founders of Iran Nomad Tours, adjusted the journey to my physical condition. Moreover they were all times taking care of me in their warm and discrete way.
I admire their sustainable concern reducing the visitors to really small groups, so nomads keep their way of living and do not depend on tourism.
I can’t thank enough Mohammad and Sarah, for giving us the chance to live with the nomads. It was like living remote old times. So unique and authentic!

It isn't easy to describe the experience we had. Nothing except living through it will do it justice, but I will try.
This isn't your usual tour. This isn't for the faint hearted, or those expecting carefully laid out plans or their faithful execution.
This is for someone looking for the authentic, the genuine, the eye opening and the surprising.
You will be guided by someone who knows the terrain and its people, and follow paths across the Zagros that for ages its local nomadic population has called home. You may loose your way, you may wander, but you will never be lost. The moutains are alive with the history of its people, hopping from village to village through mountain passes, ravines, rivers, plateaus and waterfalls, you will be treated to some of the most amazing natural beauty one could wish and to some of the most amazing life stories and people you will ever encounter.
At each stopping point you will be welcomed by the amazing inhabitants of this place, living in a land where time passes differently and where modernity has crept in in surprising ways, but preserving their authenticity in almost every aspect of their daily lives.
They will cherish every second of your stay and make you feel at home in as remote a place as you can go to in this beautiful country.
It will be tiring, for sure. But not an ounce of regret is possible after walking these lands, it will leave you wanting for more.

I went on a trip with Iranomad in may 2024. It's hard to put into words how amazing and unique this experience was. 👏🏼🌞
First I did Kooch with the nomads in the Zagros Mountains. Doing Kooch with the nomads for a couple of days, gives you so much insight into their lifestyle. I never experienced anything like this before.
After Kooch, we visited Isfahan and Shiraz, which are beautiful cities. After that we went to Lut desert and the Southern Province of Sistan Baluchestan, where a different tribe of nomads live. It was a very varied trip and I've seen so much in 19 days. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Iranomad. Iranomad really puts effort in making this the best experience for everyone.
I would also like to add that I felt VERY safe during the entire trip as a 26-year old female! Iranians are so friendly and helpful!
Thanks to Iranomad for showing me this beautiful country. I will never forget about this experience. And I hope to visit again, since there's so much more to explore in Iran!

Joining a nomadic family on their Kooch migration is an incredible experience. It is truly one of my most special travel experiences and gives a unique insight in how nomads in Iran live and opportunity to interact, bond and learn from them. I also really enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and to live outside in nature for a few days.
Iran Nomad Tours staff is very knowledgeable on the mountains, the routes and the nomads. They contribute to preserve Bakhtiari nomadic lifestyle and culture, and at the same time offer travelers a unique experience. I would recommend this experience to anyone!
