About this activity

Isolated from the Wolrd, Khinalug village is located at an altitude of 2100 meters above sea level and will be the last point to visit during this tour. You will see not only the ancient architecture of this village, you will also enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the peaks surrounding this village. And on the way to Khinalig, you can often see eagles flying overhead, wild horses galloping along the banks of stony rivers and clouds descending so low that sometimes they can even be touched.

Itinerary

Masazirgol

30 min

Pink Lake (Masazir) — the most unique lake in Azerbaijan, renowned for its unusual hue. There are only eight pink lakes in the world, and one of them is right here in Azerbaijan.

Note: During the winter period (from December 1 to March 31), visits to the Pink Lake Masazyr are temporarily suspended, as due to natural conditions the lake loses its characteristic pink shade.

This allows more time to be spent at other key locations of the itinerary, including the Shahdag Mountain Resort, which makes the tour even more rich and comfortable. This location is unavailable till april 30.
Besh Barmag Mountain

one hour

The capital of Azerbaijan is connected to the largest cities of Russia by the M1 motorway. This motorway is followed by the beautiful landscapes, one of which is the peaks of Beshbarmaq Mountain. There are plenty of different legends involving this mountain, but the truth about it includes stories about its peak being a guiding point to sailors back in the days. There’s also a holy place called “Pir Hydyr Zundzha” located here, that many respect immensely stopping at the foot of the mountain to pray and worship. Professional guides of Azerbaijan Travel International will not only tell you mythical stories about the place itself, but portray the true story about the life of its habitats.

State Historical, Architectural and Ethnographic Reserve Khinalig

2 hours Admission included

Nestled amidst the breathtaking peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, lies the ancient village of Khinalig. Perched at an elevation of 2,350 meters (7,700 feet) above sea level, Khinalig proudly holds the distinction of being recognized as the highest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe. The people who live there have a life so inherently different from what we might expect, having a unique language of their own, own traditions and freedom that some of us can’t even imagine having.
