Private Shahdag Tour from Baku – Your Own Car, Your Own Timing

Your driver will pick you up directly from your hotel lobby or designated accommodation. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as we set off for the tour.

Five Finger Mountain — Beshbarmag — rises straight out of the coastal plain about an hour north of Baku, its five stone points visible long before you reach them. It is both a landmark and a place of pilgrimage. On a group tour this is a ten-minute photo stop; with your own car you can walk up toward the base if you want to.

In the Khizi region the hillsides turn red, white and cream, striped in diagonal bands of iron-rich sediment. There is no other landscape like it in Azerbaijan. Sunlight angle changes these hills completely, which is why the departure time you choose matters more here than anywhere else on the route.

Shahdag Mountain Resort Azerbaijan sits high in the Greater Caucasus and runs all year: skiing and snowboarding in winter, cable-car sightseeing, hiking and the alpine roller coaster in the warmer months. You have free time here to do as much or as little as you like, and your driver waits until you are ready to leave rather than at a set hour.

Laza lies beyond the resort in a valley ringed by cliffs and waterfalls — a working highland village rather than a resort, and the most striking scenery on this side of the range. It is an optional extension charged separately; because it adds driving time, it is far easier to fit into a private schedule than a shared one.

After completing the tour, your driver will comfortably transfer you back to your hotel or drop you off at your preferred central location in the city.
