• Juma Mosque - Begin the journey with a pickup from any location or designated meeting point in Baku, followed by a picturesque 120-minute drive to Shamakhi. The first stop is the historic Juma Mosque, one of the oldest Islamic landmarks in the Caucasus, dating back to 744 CE during the Arab Caliphate under Maslam ibn Abd-al-Malik. This mosque was pivotal in introducing Islam to the region and is notable for its unique three-hall architectural design, each hall having its own mihrab and entrance. The central hall is topped with a large dome, while the side halls feature smaller domes, creating an elegant spatial arrangement for communal worship. The mosque remains an active place of worship, and visitors spend approximately 30 minutes with guided explanations of its historical, architectural, and religious importance.
• Seven Beauties Waterfall - From Shamakhi, continue with a 120-minute drive to the Seven Beauties Waterfall in the Vandam settlement of Gabala. This multi-tiered waterfall, located about 4 km from Gabala city center, is celebrated for its tranquil natural setting and lush forest surroundings. The waterfall consists of seven distinct cascades, with the lower tiers visible from the base and the upper tiers accessible via a wooden stairway. The climb offers both physical activity and opportunities for immersive nature observation. The shaded forest and cascading water provide perfect conditions for photography and environmental appreciation, with a visit duration of about 20 minutes. Seasonal changes can affect accessibility, especially in late autumn, winter, and early spring when surfaces may be icy.
• Nohur Gol - A short 5-minute drive leads to Nohur Lake (Nohur Gol), located in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus Mountains at an elevation of 700 meters. The lake covers 240 hectares with a maximum depth of 24 meters and is fed by seasonal streams from nearby peaks, as well as the Damiraparan and Vandam rivers. Initially a natural lake, it was transformed into a water reservoir in 1949 to support local agriculture. Surrounded by the peaks of Gulluburun, Goydag, and Yumru, the lake offers a peaceful environment for observation, reflection, and photography. In colder months, the surface may freeze to 50–60 cm, creating a stunning winter landscape. Guests have about 60 minutes to enjoy the lake at their leisure.
• Tufandag Mountain Resort - The final stop is Tufandag Mountain Resort, located 15 minutes from Nohur Lake and just 4 km from Gabala city center. The resort is a top mountain recreation destination in the Greater Caucasus, offering 12 km of ski slopes and a variety of activities suitable for both winter and summer visits. Modern snowmaking facilities ensure reliable conditions, while cable cars provide panoramic mountain views. Guests have around 90 minutes to experience the 4-Ropeway Pass (Riverside, Gabala, Duruja, Yatmish Gozal), enjoy scenic observation, and participate in available recreational activities.
  After the mountain adventure, the tour concludes with a return drive of approximately 4 hours to Baku, with drop-off at the original pickup location or arranged point. The complete itinerary offers a blend of cultural, natural, and adventure experiences, combining historic architecture, hydrological features, alpine landscapes, and recreational infrastructure in a single comprehensive day tour.
