Baku-Husar-Shahdag – The Caucasus at Your Feet!

Preface

We will go to the very north of Azerbaijan, where drunken from the crystal clear mountain air and delightful panoramas, we will dance a real lezginka with the friendly and incredibly hospitable residents of Gusar, live exciting moments from the life of Lermontov (and, perhaps, inspired by stunning stories, and ourselves will become the authors of beautiful poems) and conquer the mountains, enjoying the pristine beauty of the local nature. So it’s time to start our exciting adventure.

Who is this tour for?

This tour is designed for those who missed the power and purity of the waterfalls, the stunning beauty of the mountains, fascinating and at the same time informative stories, as well as active sports: climbing, skiing, snowboarding and so on.

Shahdag - speed, extreme, "Nardancha" and unreal views from the mountain peaks

Of course, Azerbaijan, first of all, is a beautiful untouched nature, clean mountain air and a bright original culture with a huge variety of traditions. Tourist complex Shahdag will be a pleasant surprise for sports fans. Alpine skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, quad bikes, horseback riding, various competitions - a variety of entertainment will satisfy every vacationer. And local chefs will gladly treat you with national dishes, including the famous type of pilaf called "Nardancha". What is important, the resort works all year round!

Tsar Mountain is not only one of the highest mountains in the country, but also the largest national park of the Caucasus. Therefore, in winter safely go to conquer the mountain peaks, and in summer - enjoy the incredible beauty while cycling.

Laza (Lyazya) - a place where majestic streams fall from the rock walls

The ancient settlement of Laza is located near the Shahdag complex. This village found its refuge at an altitude of 1300 (m.o.m.) in a mountain basin. There are just magical landscapes enchanting with their grandeur and outgoing energy.

Special attention should be paid to waterfalls that escape from rocks with rapid force. Surprisingly, in winter there is a competition in climbing, when the streams fall into winter sleep.

Lermontov House-Museum as an Excerpt from the Life of a Russian Poet

Lermontov House-Museum is perhaps one of the most famous sights not only of Gusar, but of the whole of Azerbaijan. In the difficult years of his life, this city became a haven for the famous Russian poet, which undoubtedly reflected in his work. You will learn what events Lermontov experienced here, with whom he became friends, and what preceded the creation of the famous work “Ashik-kerib”.

Tomb of Sheikh Juneid - the main mascot of the region

The tomb of Sheikh Juneid cannot be overlooked. Of course, it causes interest in its construction, components and interior. The calm grandeur that envelops the entire square building creates a peaceful atmosphere. But that's not the point. The tomb of Sheikh Juneid is part of the history of the whole country. It was built by Shah Tahmasib in honor of Sheikh Juneid as a funerary mosque. And during the tour, we will find out who Sheikh Juneida is and what role he played in the life of a whole people.
