Our detailed posts on the route, the season and how to prepare

Each has its own language, its own road and its own season. Which village to visit and why, and which routes start from them.

Bazardüzü, Tufandağ, Shahdag and Khinalig all sit inside one park. How the area is laid out, which routes exist and what permits you need.

Khinalig is not just a high village — together with the seasonal migration route around it, it forms a cultural landscape. What to see and when to go.
