From Baku: Shamakhi, Ismailli, and Gabala Tour｜Azerbaijan

Leave Baku behind and watch the landscapes transition into rolling green hills as you head toward the historic city of Shamakhi. Your first stop is the magnificent Juma Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture dating back to 743 AD. Explore its grand prayer halls and peaceful courtyard, and learn about the deep spiritual history of this vital Silk Road landmark.

Next, the journey takes you into the lush, picture-perfect region of Ismailli. Get your camera ready as you stop at the famous Zarnava Suspension Bridge. You may optionally walk across this narrow wooden bridge, suspended high above a rocky river canyon and surrounded by dense forest. The bridge crossing is optional and requires an additional fee, paid separately.

After your adventure on the bridge, it is time to recharge. Make a dedicated stop for lunch at a local restaurant hidden right under the canopy of Ismailli's beautiful forest. Relax, enjoy the absolute peace of nature, and sample local cuisine in a cool, shaded mountain setting.

Heading into Gabala, visit the legendary 7 Beauties (Yeddi Gozel) Waterfall. Take a light walk up the stairs through the mountain forest to hear the soothing sound of rushing water. Discover the beautiful cascading tiers of the waterfall, capture stunning photos against the rocky cliffs, and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

The grand finale of your journey is the premium Tufandag Mountain Resort — a true alpine paradise in Azerbaijan. Enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and panoramic views of the Greater Caucasus. You may optionally take the cable car (ropeway) to ascend to higher viewpoints and enjoy breathtaking views over the valleys and surrounding peaks. The cable car ride is optional and is not included in the tour price; an additional fee applies and is paid separately.
