Pink Lake (Masazir) — the most unique lake in Azerbaijan, renowned for its unusual hue. There are only eight pink lakes in the world, and one of them is right here in Azerbaijan. Note: During the winter period (from December 1 to March 31), visits to the Pink Lake Masazyr are temporarily suspended, as due to natural conditions the lake loses its characteristic pink shade. This allows more time to be spent at other key locations of the itinerary, including the Shahdag Mountain Resort, which makes the tour even more rich and comfortable.

Our next stopping point is truly unique and special. One of the true domains of Azerbaijan’s nature called Candy Cane Mountains or Colored Mountains will be on display for you to observe and enjoy. Its appearance that actually looks just like the candies or sweets make the very interesting combination, the bright reds turning into whites and pinks, creating a breathtaking view.

The capital of Azerbaijan is connected to the largest cities of Russia by the M1 motorway. This motorway is followed by the beautiful landscapes, one of which is the peaks of Beshbarmaq Mountain. There are plenty of different legends involving this mountain, but the truth about it includes stories about its peak being a guiding point to sailors back in the days. There’s also a holy place called “Pir Hydyr Zundzha” located here, that many respect immensely stopping at the foot of the mountain to pray and worship. Professional guides of Azerbaijan Travel International will not only tell you mythical stories about the place itself, but portray the true story about the life of its habitats.

We will visit the dense Gechresh Forest, where the canopy is so thick that even during the day, locals use lamps for light.
