Escape to the lush, subtropical south of Azerbaijan on a private full-day tour to Lankaran, a unique region wedged between the Caspian Sea and the majestic Talysh Mountains. Known as the homeland of Azerbaijani tea and citrus fruits, Lankaran offers a perfect mix of exotic nature, distinct local culture, and fascinating historical heritage. Your private journey begins with a scenic drive south along the Caspian coast. Arriving in Lankaran, stop at a local tea plantation to learn about traditional tea cultivation and taste ecologically clean, fragrant Azerbaijani tea right in the field where it is grown. Continue to the hidden bamboo forest in Talishli village, where dense green groves create an unexpected, serene atmosphere that feels like stepping into East Asia. Next, explore the historic center of Lankaran and visit the grand Khan's Palace (House of Mir Ahmad Khan), an elegant 19th-century residence blending European and oriental architecture. Cap off your day with a visit to the serene Khanbulan Lake nestled inside Hirkan National Park, surrounded by dense ironwood forests, before making your comfortable return journey back to Baku.
