climbAzerbaijan’s highest mountain

Have you ever dreamt of climbing above the clouds and touching the sky? You can experience these unbelievable feelings having conquered Mt Bazarduzu – the highest peak in Azerbaijan. To do so you really don’t have to be a mountaineer. Accompanied by professional guides, experienced hikers can climb to an altitude of 4,466 metres in two days. Don’t miss this opportunity to spend the night in a tent, stroll among mountains topped with snow year-round, see up close Gizilgaya, Shahdag, Tufandag and of course Bazarduzu – Azerbaijan’s highest mountains – and return with the fantastic feeling of having done it.
