Individual excursion to the Colorful Mountains of Khizi - a journey to Mars

What to expect

Landscapes of the pink lake
Immediately from Baku, we will head to the amazing pink lake Masazyr, which is considered one of the natural wonders of Absheron. You will stroll along the 'Dead Sea of Azerbaijan', admiring the incredible pink color of its water, hear its unusual history, and, of course, take wonderful photos against the backdrop of the soft pink smoothness. You will have the opportunity to wade into the pink water and take the most beautiful photos. In addition, a walk on the salt and pink water sediment is very pleasant and beneficial from a medical point of view.

Khizi Mountains: a journey to Mars
When on the slopes of the Khizi Mountains, covered with colorful patterns, you will feel like you are in the Mesozoic era or on a distant red planet. The beauty and mystical atmosphere of this natural wonder are hard to describe in words - but you can see, feel, and capture them in photos, which we will do. You will admire the enchanting intertwining of red, terracotta, white, and golden shades of the mountains: such cosmic landscapes can only be seen in a few places in the world, and Khizi is one of them. These mountains are so ancient that you can find fossils of prehistoric creatures on their slopes, which we will definitely find with you!

Path to the summit of the sacred mountain Beshbarmag
After enjoying the amazing view of the colorful mountains, we will head to the Azerbaijani place of power - the sacred mountain of Beshbarmag. Don't forget to make your most cherished wish in advance, for the fulfillment of which (if you wish) we will perform a sacred ritual on the rock. Climbing to the very top of the rock, we will visit the sanctuary of Khidyrzinda, where I will tell you stories and legends associated with this mysterious place. We will also enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Caspian Sea. Along the way, you will see the ruins of an ancient fortress and the remains of an ancient cemetery.

Trip to Altı-Ağac National Park: zoo and cable car (optional for an additional fee)
In the summer, we can make our journey more diverse by adding a trip to the Altı-Ağac National Park (20 euros/person, +2 hours to the excursion time). In the complex called 'Paradise Garden,' you will walk along stone paths through forest thickets, enjoy views of forests and mountainous nature. And if you feel like a little pick-me-up, take a ride on the cable car and meet the inhabitants of the local zoo - bears (with amazing, almost highlighted coloring), bison, deer, and a rare - endangered species of mountain goats. Tickets to the zoo and cable car are included in the excursion price.
