One of the main reason for writing this itinerary is transforming experience of journey different. Life is going to change very quickly and local formers and nomads life style also is going to change now. Now a day in most part of Iran the traditional style of seasonal movement with animals and whole families going to change. In many regions most of nomads transfer their animal with big truck and you cant see much people kept their old custom these days. Also technology and smart phones are everywhere and most of tradition and customs of local effected by many new toys and we might be the last generation have chance to see special nomad people who still have their old tradition. We had studied about the best place to see these type of people who they are real nomads with their old history of life and we have a couple of trip softer trip for their region. All of the trip we have in nomadic area are for the time they already settled in their region. But this trip is for when they wanted to move. From over 300 different itineraries of Adventure Iran trips this is the only one we cant write our fix itinerary because they have their own plan and the time of their seasonal travel is not fix. So we cant say start date but it might to be a couple of day later and we spend some exploration before they start they trip to high land.
