Foreword

We will go to the very north of Azerbaijan, where you can breathe amazing clear mountain air and view magic nature panoramas. We will dance a real Lezghinka with the friendly and incredibly hospitable residents of Gusar, learn exciting moments from Lermontov’s life (and, perhaps inspired by amazing stories), and enjoy the pristine beauty of the local nature. Therefore, it is time to start our most interesting adventure.

Who is this tour for?

This tour is intended for those who miss the power and cleanliness of the waterfalls, the stunning beauty of the mountains, fascinating and at the same time informative stories, as well as active sports: climbing, skiing, snowboarding and more.

Shahdag - speed, extreme, "backgammon", and unreal views from the mountain peaks

Of course, Azerbaijan, first, is a beautiful untouched nature, clean mountain air, and a bright distinctive culture with a huge variety of traditions. Shahdag tourist complex will be a pleasant surprise for sports lovers. Alpine skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, horseback riding, and various competitions - a variety of entertainment will satisfy every vacationer. Local chefs will gladly treat you to national dishes, including the famous view of pilaf called “nardancha.” Importantly, the resort is open all year round!

Shahdag Mountain is not only one of the highest mountains in the country, but also the largest national park in the Caucasus

Therefore, travelers came here to conquer the mountain peaks in winter and enjoy the incredible beauty during cycling in the summer.

Laza (Lyaz) - a place where majestic streams fall from the rocky walls

The ancient village, namely Laza is located near the Shahdag complex. This village is located at an altitude of 1300 m. above sea level around the magic rocks.

There are magical landscapes, enchanting with their grandeur and outgoing energy

Particularly noteworthy are the waterfalls escaping from the cliffs with swift force. Surprisingly, in winter there is a climbing competition when the flows fall in winter sleep

House-Museum of M.Y. Lermontov, as the best memory of a Russian poet

The Lermontov House Museum is perhaps one of the most famous attractions not only of the Gusar, but of the whole of Azerbaijan.

This city became a refuge for a famous Russian poet in the difficult years of his life, and this situation, of course, was reflected in his work.

You will find out what events Lermontov went through here as well as who made friends with him, and what preceded the creation of the famous work “Ashik-kerib”.

Tomb of Sheikh Junayde – one of the main historical construction of the region

The tomb of Sheikh Junide is impossible to bypass. Of course, it causes interest in its construction, components, and interior. The calm grandeur that envelops the entire square building creates a peaceful atmosphere. However, this is not the most important thing.

The tomb of Sheikh Junayde is a part of the history of the whole country

Shah Tahmasib built it in honor of Sheikh Junayde as a funeral mosque. During the tour we will figure out who Sheikh Junayde is and what role he played in the life of an entire nation.
