Day 1: Journey to Khinalug Village

Begin your journey with a private transfer from central Baku, featuring a scenic drive through northern Azerbaijan with planned photo stops offering panoramic views of the Greater Caucasus.

Upon arrival, be welcomed into a selected village home for a traditional Azerbaijani lunch. Prepared using regional methods preserved for generations, the meal introduces the essence of mountain hospitality shaped by isolation, resilience, and cultural continuity.

After lunch, embark on a guided walking tour of Khinalug. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, the exploration highlights the village’s stone architecture, unique social structure, and ancient language spoken nowhere else in the world.

Enjoy time for independent discovery, allowing you to observe daily life, interact with residents, and experience a way of living largely untouched by modern pace. Surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes and often positioned above the cloud line, Khinalug offers one of the most striking environments in Azerbaijan.

The day concludes with an overnight stay in a handpicked village house that balances comfort with authenticity, offering a rare opportunity to disconnect and embrace the calm rhythm of high-altitude life.

Day 2: Cultural and Natural Highlights of Guba - Return to Baku

In the afternoon, visit Red Village, home to one of the world’s largest Mountain Jewish communities. The Grand Synagogue and Museum of Mountain Jews reveal centuries of preserved identity, migration history, and religious heritage unique to the Caucasus.
