The cult construction of Hanega is not only a place of pilgrimage for a million Muslims, but also an unusually beautiful temple complex. Walking along the corridors of mosques and mausoleums, you yourself will understand why the Mongol invaders did not dare to destroy the splendor of Hanega, and the Khan of the Golden Horde, the Uzbek, falling in love with the architectural ensemble, brought countless treasures here.

• Palace of love

You will hear their beautiful love story and find out what the purpose of the multi-colored stained-glass windows on the second floor was.

• Lankaran fortress

Unfortunately, today, the Lankaran fortress is far from what it was before. Now we can only see the ruins, and after all, until 1812, it reliably protected the city from enemy attacks. Why until 1812? Find out during our trip!

• Lankaran lighthouse

Can we walk past the symbol of the city of Lankaran? Well of course not!

Wow, it will be interesting!

Stunning Yardimly waterfalls

Yardimly waterfalls hid high above sea level in the depths of centuries-old forests. This is an ideal place for those who want to hide from the bustle of the city, stay alone with nature, enjoy the clean air, and listen to the sound of water flows, while having the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of civilization. The silver sparkle of brooks, the singing of falling water, and the bewitching sounds of a dense forest - this is it, a magical fairy tale of Azerbaijan. And yet, absolutely anyone can fish in this peaceful atmosphere, and with the caught trout, professional cooks will prepare a juicy grilled fish, which goes well with delicious narsherab and local home-made wine

We will feel like the indigenous people of Azerbaijan!

This is a unique opportunity to be acquainted with the home environment, life and traditions of an ordinary Azerbaijani family. What could be better than to feel like a full-time inhabitant of an oriental house for the whole night!
