The Gabala and Shamakhi tour was a very nice experience with beautiful natural scenery 🌄❄️ During my visit, the weather was cold and snowy, which made the landscapes look very beautiful and wintery. The mountains and surroundings looked especially nice covered in snow. However, I was told that this place is even more beautiful in spring when the weather is warmer and nature is greener 🌿 Still, even in winter, it was an enjoyable trip and a great experience overall 👍
