Meet us up at your Isfahan accommodation and have a pleasant ride through a lush mountainous road to Borujen (110 km). Pass Borujen and make your way toward Shirmard Village (90 km). From there, have a short off-road trip (5-6 km) to the foot of Shirmard Mountain where Bakhtiari nomads are temporarily living.
Meet the welcoming nomad family who make you feel at home with their warmth. Begin your exploration of their simple and lovely lifestyle with the delicious local lunch they have cooked for you over fire. Then have some time to enjoy the intact culture of these unpretentious people and hike around the surrounding pristine nature. In early Spring, the stunning beauty of a carpet of wild flowers (fritillaria) will double the beauty of the green nature and the lovely springs. Luck may have it that you get to see the nomads collect eggs, milk cows, churn Mashk, spin wool, sing, weave, make fire and cook. Finally, head back to Isfahan with a sweet smile that the adorable nomadic life has brought to your face.
