Campaign Story

IRAN Nomad Tour is a travel operator company working closely with indigenous people and nomad tribes in Iran. Our tours offer transhumans with nomad families through the untouched nature of Iran. We are committed to fair trade & Eco-responsibility principals, trying to help our Nomad partners to preserve their culture, lifestyle and handicrafts. We started working with Bakhtiari Tribes as our partners since Spring 2017  and aim to extend this in Middle East in the next 3 years.

How Your Contribution Impacts?
The Backed Money are going to be used to expand our local community partners since we will buy the handicrafts from them. The rest is used for hiring a group of professional facilitators for local community development, and finally in creation and diffusion of content about the community for general public and promotion of our work.

Available Perks
Please choose your favorite Perk and help us make Nomads known to the world in order to prevent their extinction. They have a very rich history and their lifestyle is worthwhile to maintain. All the Perks are selected from Nomadic handicraft which has a broad historical background.

Who Are Bakhtiari Nomads?

Persian Bakhtiari nomads are a group of remaining nomad tribes in the dazzling landscapes of the Zagros Mountains. They transhumans (Kuch) twice a year to provide their flocks with fresh grass. Once in spring, when they move to their summer pastures, and then in fall when they move to lower altitudes.

Since hundred years ago, the number of these authentic people has declined. Different regimes and groups have tried to stop their migration under the pretext of supporting them or making their lives easier, but in fact, these measures were attempted to patronize and thus control the Bakhtiyari, which made them lose their self-esteem. Fortunately, there are still thousands of them keeping the culture alive. But they are experiencing a dramatic decline.
