Overview

Kooch Tour, A Nomadic Life Experience

Our 7-day Kooch tour has been carefully planned to make sure you get the most out of the Iranian nomad lifestyle. Think of it as a genuine cultural tour which will expand your view of a pure and original lifestyle which borrows its roots form thousands of years of close relationship with nature.

We start our tour from Tehran or any other big city of your choice where we normally take a flight to the south-western province of Khuzestan and its capital, Ahvaz. This tour is suitable for small groups and includes accommodation in nomadic tent, local guest house and hotel as well as flights, meals and transportation.

Chogha-Zanbil(Shiraz tour), one of the few existing Elamite ziggurats outside Mesopotamia is one of our first stops. Other notable sights on our way include the watermills of Shushtar and a stop in Masjed Soleyman, the birthplace of the modern day’s oil industry. We spend the first night in a small village called Fath Abad.

We join our nomad hosts on the second day where we meet them close to Zardeh mountain range. We will be hiking and accompanying nomads during their seasonal migration. The overall hiking we do on this tour will be more than 40 kilometers. It is worth mentioning that as we are accompanying nomads, we can not have a precise plan for our journey with them. Their plans are normally based on the weather and the preparation level of their livestock.

On the sixth day, we will be arriving at the Kuhrang county where we visit the beautiful and untouched village of Sar Agha Seyed. The small city of Chelgerd which is close to Sar Agha Seyed village is like a basecamp for most nomads as they would buy the equipment they need from there. Our sixth night will be spent in a hotel in the region, we also pay a visit to the nearby salt lake along with the Kuhrang spring. On the seventh and last day, we will head back to Isfahan where our tour will end.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service :) TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. ;) TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.

wonderful time in Iran!!

We did a private tour for 4 people. Sara was very responsive to our request and adjusted the itinerary based on our needs. We had a great time with the local natives of Iran and our guide. They took us to the unreachable lands. Iran is a very beautiful country and we loved our experience.

Fantastic trip, good value for money

We were able to customize our trip to Iran with Tappersia and it was so easy. The vehicle was comfortable and modern. A/C suited the mood and the driver played some pop Persian music for us. Our guide Sara was a nomad herself and she was a great English speaker, who was happy to adjust things as the trips went on. Heavily recommended.

The best personalized travel agency

This is the best travel agency I have ever used: the owner, rasool gives personalized attention to every guest as if they were his best friends. He is one genius, hard-working and hospitable Iranian. We wanted to explore the nature of Iran and this was a great experience. He knows what we want.

Tour date:2018 Jul

We signed up for the Kooch tour because we wanted more than just a tourist experience. We stayed with a nomad family of 8 in their daily routine, migrating to a cooler area. Packing things, gathering the animals, passing sheep and cows of the river, watching nomads hoping each and every summit. It was like the land was their home, no matter where they were. Best trip EVER!!!!
