Over 1,200 years old, the Shamakhi Juma Mosque remains one of the largest religious structures in the Caucasus.
The journey to the first stop takes approximately 2 hours. During this time, the guide will entertain you with fascinating insights into the country’s history and culture.
- Nokhur Gel Lake - Nohur Lake is one of Azerbaijan’s most stunning lakes. It is uniquely beautiful, surrounded by mountains, wooded hills, and reed thickets, resembling a mirror reflecting the forested slopes. The serene nature, clear waters, and towering mountains inspire tranquility and sheer delight.
The travel time to this enchanting natural wonder is about 1 hour, allowing you a full hour to savor its beauty.
- Seven Beauties Waterfall - Picture the Greater Caucasus mountains, where trees with interwoven crowns create constant shade and coolness, and a waterfall cascades down from high in the mountains. This breathtaking sight is aptly named “Seven Beauties” because it features seven cascades of varying heights.
Since we will already be in Gabala, it will only take half an hour to travel from the lake to the waterfall.
- Tufandag Mountain Resort - Located in the rapidly developing tourist town of Gabala, the Tufandag resort is a prime destination. The Tufandag ropeway station is situated at the Qafqaz Riverside Resort Hotel, just 5 minutes from Gabala’s center.

Gabala trip - The major attraction of the trip was out guide Riad.I would say his conversations on azerbaijans history and culture is the highlight of the tour. The long drive was good, and the food was great.

Impressions about the trip to Azerbaijan are the best. - Thank you for the trip to Shamakhi and Gabala. Wonderful atmosphere, very cordial people. We would especially like to note the detailed stories and explanations of our guide Anar, with many details about the history and customs of the country, as well as about modern life. The places we visited were worth seeing. Lunch near lake was very impressive.

Great tour in the mountains - I want to thank the organizers of the tour to Gabala where there is fabulous beauty all around. Especially thanks to our guide Nigu and cheerful driver Elmar.
It was so interesting, informative and sometimes very funny. The day flew by without a trace. A lot of walking, lunch in a luxurious restaurant near the lake. I am waiting for new interesting routes.
And good luck in your work.
See you again.

Gabala trip - Trip was good . But towards the end , guide made an unscheduled stop at the souvenir shop , that wasted time ( almost 30-45min) and we got to the waterfall way after dark so we couldn’t see anything . Also , our booking said pick up and drop off at hotel , but since it got late coming back to Baku we were asked to all get off at the main pick up point rather than dropping us back to the hotel as it was promised in the booking . Overall ok but depends if you want a 500 Km ( 8.5 hours ) drive to see a mosque , mountains and dark waterfall .

Bad experience - It is my first time that i book a trip that made feel terribly uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy my time to explore the places that we have been visiting, it was like get the bus take pictures get back again,, was a rush all the day the trip supposed to be 12 hours we arrived to our hotel after 16 hours!! My foot got swallowed from the exhaustion , my mother got sick after this trip , plus to that places that have been added in the trip must be separated into two different trips you can not visit them all in once that was a mistake, you won’t enjoy them when you arrive just taking pictures is something I didn’t pay for , but I preferred to stayed little longer and shortage the trip timing i guess it will be more relaxing and fun , after all i do not recommend this trip if this is the way the guide will continue to participate , it doesn’t worth your money at all it will come to your health
