Persia Digest reports that Bakhtiari nomads are a tribe living in western and southwestern Iran. Archaeological excavations show that settlements in this area date back to 40 thousand years ago. Natural resources such as water, forests, pastures, rainfall, abundant reservoirs, and valleys for agriculture made this an ideal settlement ground for mankind in the past. Some of the nomads from this region still migrate twice a year to find pastures new in the winter and summer.
