Embark on an unforgettable day trip into the breathtaking landscapes of northern Azerbaijan, combining colorful geological wonders, serene forest surroundings, and high-mountain scenery. Your journey begins with a stop at the extraordinary Candy Cane Mountains in Khizi. Known for their distinct reddish, pink, and white striped rock formations, these surreal hills offer fantastic opportunities for photos and landscape viewing. Continuing north toward Quba, you will travel into the magical Qechresh Forest. Walk under a dense canopy of ancient trees, absorb the fresh mountain air, and pause for a delicious, traditional Azerbaijani lunch served right in the heart of nature. The tour culminates at Shahdag Mountain Resort, Azerbaijan’s premier mountain destination located in the Greater Caucasus. Enjoy time to relax, take in the high-altitude views, or participate in available seasonal resort activities (such as the coaster ride, cable cars, or winter sports, depending on the season) before returning to Baku.
