Taking a rest under the trees we will stop for a lunch and then move to Tanggalti canyon where walls can reach up 600 meters. It is an ideal place for photo session for those who are in love with the mountains.  Road makes us go up and up – to the final point of our journey – Afruja waterfall. On a road back we will visit Chiraq Castle. The remnains of Chiraq Castle sit very impressively at 1200m on a cliff top above the forested sanatorium of QalaAlti and associated Mashrif village. It’s one of the few castle ruins in Azerbaijan to retain a real castle-shaped silhouette and makes a worthwhile and reasonably easy diversion if you’re driving between Baku and Quba.

Inclusions: Transfer, Lunch, 4x4 cars, Guide, Dinner, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

This is a long overdue review. We went last year and Amir was very helpful. He picked us up and brought us to the hotel and gave us tips on where to go in Baku. The guide/driver he assigned to us, Vlad, was also great and knowledgeable about the places we went to. It was a long drive to Khinaliq, but in the end, it was worth it. We had lunch at one of the local's houses, very good food and authentic experience.

I have fallen in love with Azerbaijan back in 2018 when first visited the country. As a biologist, I am interested mostly in the wildlife of deserts and semi-arid foothills (which are plentiful here) but this land is so versatile that you can cross several ecological zones in a matter of hours. Literally, you can wander in a lowland semi-desert enjoying bubbling mud volcanos and prehistorical rock-art in the morning and then go up to see alpine meadows and glaciers in the afternoon. Besides the natural wonders, Azerbaijan can surely boast with its rich history and cultural traditions. And, of course, friendly and hospitable locals are one of the biggest treasures that can be found here. So, it was a bit disconcerting when I found out that the guy with whom we arranged a trip last year fell ill and this time he will not be able to accompany me and my friend. As always, this happened just a few days before we should fly in into Baku. But we were lucky to find Amir through a website connecting travellers with local guides. There were many offers following my request but Amir's reply had driven my attention. He said that he is also crazy about deserts and will gladly drive us in his old Pajero wherever we want. "That is the guy you need" is the thought that crossed my mind and so the adventures began. I am not sure what is the maximum length of a review on the TripAdvisor and don't think it is necessary to provide the details of the trip here. Everyone can find something for himself in this amazing country. We had good eats, good talks, good laughs, great music. The overall trip was awesome. What needs to be emphasized, however, are Amir's qualities such as professionalism, friendliness, positive attitude and great knowledge of Azerbaijan's history and culture. Surely, when I will plan my next trip to the country I will contact Amir to ask about his availability.

We had an 8 day customised tour organised by Azerbaijanguide.az. From the first email reply I received everything was handled very well in a professional manner. Itinerary was designed according to what we wanted to see and do and we had a brilliant time. Our driver and guide, Farhad, was with us all week and was very accomodating. Artunj made sure our tour went without a hitch and was on hand via phone or WhatsApp whenever we needed to contact him. All in all we had an amazing time exploring (being shown) Azerbaijan and would highly recommend Artunj and his company if you decide to visit this interesting country.

8. Highest waterfall and mystique mountain

Travel2Baku

We will leave Baku at 10:00 AM and will driven direct to the north and will reach Quba in an two hours. Taking a rest under the trees we will stop for a lunch and then move to Tanggalti canyon where walls can reach up 600 meters. It is an ideal place for photo session for those who are in love with the mountains.  Road makes us go up and up – to the final point of our journey – Afrudja waterfall. On a road back dull scenery north of Baku gets an unexpectedly abrupt and dramatic boost with the looming silhouette of 520m Beshbarmaq Dash (Five Finger Mountain). This mystical peak brandishes a rocky fistful of phallic crags atop a super-steep grassy ridge top. It’s well worth climbing to the summit, not just for the fabulous Caspian views, but also to observe first hand Azerbaijan’s unique take on ‘Islam’. 

Inclusions: Transfer, Lunch, 4x4 cars, Guide, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Local bus to Quba and then taxi through woodlands with locals having picnics. From there the road deteriorates but goes through beautiful canyons then pastures with sheep and a glacial river. Too much traffic and once we arrived, we found massive numbers of taxis and tour mini-buses - far too many for the town to handle. Locals seemed uninterested (or invaded) and not well off economically. They tried to see us handmade crocheted crafts. Loved the canyon.
