Overview

Travel into the Azerbaijan mountains from Baku on a full-day tour that explores Shamakhi and Qabala. Without your own transport reaching the two remote destinations from Baku would be a challenge, but pre-booking a cost-effective group adventure takes the hassle out of the journey; less time spent on logistics buys you more time to discover Azerbaijani food, walk by a mountain lake, and check out alpine scenery.

Good guide, uninteresting sites

Kayla_K, Apr 2022

Our day trip to Gabala and Shamakhi was only OKAY. The guide was good, but the sites were just not very interesting. We were really looking forward to going on the cable car, but it wasn't open that day and they only let us know once we were on our way out of the city. It would have been nice if the tour agency informed us about this beforehand so that we could make our decision based on that. We were super disappointed in this day trip. We were not satisfied with the sites and felt like our day was wasted in a van seeing lackluster scenery.

Must do trip in Baku

Mohamed_B, Jan 2022

This trip is a must do in Baku specially in winter. Our guide was Shah, explained everything for us. The road trip journey is the most tiring thing though, takes few hours to get there You will find many places for unforgettable pictures Go to the summit in gabala

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you dear for mentioning your guide! I am glad to know you had a great time with us and our team! Looking forward to meeting you again!

A trip to remember

WILLIAM_J, Dec 2021

Tufandag Mountain resort was the best part of the trip. Cable station at the top was covered by snow which my son enjoyed the most. The entire trip was very memorable. The tour guide and the driver was very friendly.
