FROM OUR GALLERY
Day 1
Meet us at your hotel in Shiraz and have a road trip toward Margoon Waterfall (150 km). Find the scenic waterfall and its lovely streams in the heart of the beautiful mountains and trees. The 70m height, 100m width and the beauty of several springs pushing water off the beautiful wall make Margoon one of the most stunning waterfalls in Iran.
After this pleasant visit, make your way toward the lovely Qashqai Nomads. Begin your exploration of the simple and lovely lifestyle of these hospitable people before they serve you with delicious local dishes cooked over fire. 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.Then have some time to enjoy the peace of the surrounding nature and the intact culture of these unpretentious people. At sunset, see one of the beauties of pastoral life: the sweet moment when the little lambs that have stayed in the stable for the whole day rush to reunite with their mothers that have returned from their graze.
In the peace of the night, enjoy the warmth of a friendly gathering around a cozy campfire while listening to the nomads tell you tales of pastoral life. Spending the night under the protection of nomadic tents or even camping next to them will be the sweet experience of a lifetime. Sleep tight!
