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.

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.
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.
In the region of Khizi, not far from Baku, you will stop to capture the unique slopes of the mountains. These slopes are distinctive due to their vibrant colors, and there are only about three places like this in the world. Don't miss the opportunity to visit our "Caramel" hills!
Now, with the sun shining high in the sky, tourists are led to the restaurant in Quba, that includes multiple food and beverage choices. From meat kebab to vegetables, salads and chicken, you’ll have the opportunity to try something that suits your specific taste.
After lunch, you will set off to the village of Khinalug. Your journey will take you through the Gudialchay Gorge, a historic path that has been traversed for centuries by people from around the world. Local shepherds have led their flocks to the river of the same name, and warriors from some of the greatest Eastern empires have walked this route as well.
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.

Great tour. Got to see a lot of the landscape away from the city. Our tour guide Naz did a really good job and her English was easily understood.
Wonderful Full-Day Experience We had a wonderful experience on our full-day tour of Azerbaijan. Everything was very well organized, with punctual pickup and drop-off, which made the whole day completely stress-free. We visited Quba and Khinalig, and it was a fantastic opportunity to discover more about the country and its rich history. Our tour guide Nazpari was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information, history, and fun facts along the way. You could really feel her passion for Azerbaijan. She did a wonderful job especially with her patience answering all the questions we had and also recommending things to do or buy. A special thank you to Veli, our driver, who made the journey even more enjoyable. He was experienced, professional, and incredibly fun to travel with. We always felt safe and comfortable throughout the day. Thank you to the whole team for such a memorable experience. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

On December 22, 2025, we went on the "From the Khizi Mountains to the Village of Khinalig" tour. We really enjoyed the tour thanks to our guide, Oguz, who not only provided detailed information along the route but also answered all our questions about life in the republic, the history of Azerbaijan, and neighboring countries. He created a comfortable and friendly atmosphere during the tour. The road was difficult, and the village was hard to reach, but thanks to our driver, Mahmud, and our guide, Oguz, everything went wonderfully. We were so impressed. The beauty of the Khizi Mountains, the Kurchaloy River gorge, and Oryol Peak will never be forgotten. I definitely recommend this tour to everyone!
Good day, everyone! I want to say a written thank you to the team! Traveled along the route "Guba-Khynalyg" with the master of excursions Ruslan! It was extremely heartfelt, without the memorized phrases of the book, alive, for real. Learned many interesting things about the life of the country and its traditions. We will try new routes with pleasure the next time we arrive in Baku, but only with Ruslan!
We went on a field trip with Guba-Khynalyg's husband, we had with us a guide Ruslan, the best guide in the world, it was very interesting, educational, not boring. Of the three tours, this was the most memorable and emotional, all thanks to our guide, I will gladly recommend tours in your firm with the guide Ruslan.
