Overview
Guba is a popular getaway in itself but more particularly a gateway to Azerbaijan’s most interesting and remote mountain villages. The houses in Khinalug are a visual example of the distinctive village. The houses are built like a staircase - each roof is another's house front door terrace. Pay attention to the cubes of dried fertilizer, serving as fuel in the winter. A half-hour walk among households should give a good impression of it.
