Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Besh Barmag Mountain, Siyazan Azerbaijan
Mystique Beshbarmaq mountain.The dull scenery north of Baku gets an unexpectedly abrupt and dramatic boost with the looming silhouette of 520m Beshbarmaq Dash (Five Finger Mountain). This mystical peak brandishes a rocky fistful of phallic crags atop a super-steep grassy ridge top. It’s well worth climbing to the summit, not just for the fabulous Caspian views, but also to observe first hand Azerbaijan’s unique take on ‘Islam’. Crowds of locals come here seeking good fortune, a child, or the answer to their problems using a mixture of prayer, sacrifice, chanting and very animist kissing of rocks.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Qirmizi Qasaba, Qirmizi Qasaba, Guba-Khachmaz Region
