Hiking tours — one-day walks

About hiking tours

Hiking is the most common format in Azerbaijan: the bus leaves Baku between 06:00 and 07:00, the route runs 8–16 km, and the group is back in the city the same evening. The most popular directions are Ismayilli (Lahij, Muju, Galajig waterfall), Guba–Qusar (Khinalig, Griz, Laza), Qakh–Ilisu, Goygol and the southern forests around Lerik and Astara.

Most trails are unwaymarked, which makes a guide who knows the route a safety matter rather than a luxury. Every departure below belongs to a local operator; distance, total ascent, difficulty and the next date are on the card.
