Guba Shahdag Tour – Full-Day Mountain Adventure from Baku

The Guba Shahdag Tour is one of the most popular and scenic day trips in Azerbaijan, ideal for travelers who want to discover the natural beauty, mountain landscapes, and cultural highlights of the country in a single full-day journey. Starting from Baku, this tour takes you deep into the northern region of Azerbaijan, where the Greater Caucasus Mountains rise dramatically above lush forests, crystal-clear rivers, and peaceful villages.

Your trip in Azerbaijan begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in Baku. As you leave the city behind, your guide introduces the history, culture, and geography of the northern region, preparing you for a day filled with adventure and beauty. The first major stop is the famous Candy (Pink) Mountains, a rare natural phenomenon shaped over millions of years. Their red, pink, and orange mineral layers create a magical landscape you won’t find anywhere else in the world. This stop is a favorite for photographers and those searching for unique geological sights.

The tour continues toward Beshbarmaq (Five Finger Mountain), one of the most spiritual and legendary places in Azerbaijan. From your viewpoint, you’ll see why locals consider this mountain sacred — its unique rock formation resembles a giant hand reaching towards the sky. A short pause here allows you to take photos, enjoy the fresh air, and hear the myths and legends that make this place special.

Next, the tour heads to Guba, a region known for its forests, apple orchards, rivers, and calm mountain climate. Guba is one of the largest and greenest areas in Azerbaijan, popular among both travelers and locals for its relaxing environment. Depending on your preference, you may enjoy lunch in one of the nature restaurants (optional), where you can taste delicious Azerbaijani cuisine surrounded by riverside views. This part of the tour is perfect for those who want to experience the more traditional and authentic side of northern Azerbaijan.

After lunch, the journey continues to the highlight of the day — the world-class Shahdag Mountain Resort.
