Introducing Northern Azerbaijan

Show mapClose map

Most of Azerbaijan’s scenic highlights lie in the spectacular, snow-capped Caucasus mountains or their luxuriantly forested foothills. Some of these zones are accessible from the delightful Baku–Balakən road, others from the Quba-Qusar region, where Laza and Xınalıq are Azerbaijan’s most magnificently set mountain villages. Both northern and northwestern Azerbaijan offer truly extraordinary contrasts with the semi-desert landscapes around Baku. However, unless you’re prepared to walk for a couple of days across high passes, there’s no way to cross between the two.
