Iraqi Kurdistan

The northern portion of Iraq is home to the Kurds. These resilient people have called this region home for thousands of years. Though the Kurds don’t have a country, they still have a deep culture, history, and language that is entirely their own. Their homeland is unique in the Middle East, with huge canyons, mountains, and flowing rivers that make the region a green oasis.

The Iraqi Kurdistan tour starts in Diyarbakir, Turkey, where various cultural influences have shaped this city. A drive across the border, and you’ll be in northern Iraq, where you will spend several days touring the Iraqi Kurdish capital Erbil. A journey on the famous Hamilton Road will show you the landscapes unique to this region. Another stop will be the remote mountain village of Lalish, the spiritual home of the Yazidi people. All this and more await you in the unforgettable homeland of the Kurdish people.

We run two trips a year to Iraqi Kurdistan and an epic twenty-night train journey from Wigan, England, to Iraqi Kurdistan. We can’t wait for you to join us in Kurdistan!
