About this experience
Geographically known as the 'Northern Gates', the Gusar region is one of the popular travel destinations in Azerbaijan. During this two-day journey from Baku, I will tell you why these places are called the 'edge of records' and show you natural wonders and unique attractions. Miniature Taj Mahal, village in the clouds, 'king of the mountain', and waterfalls - all worth seeing!

This trip is for those who want to see the most northern part of Azerbaijan in all its glory, enjoy the clean mountain air, taste spring water, and indulge in amazing Caucasian cuisine. During the excursion, we will:
