  • Qechresh
    Pick up from any designated address or arranged meeting point within Baku. Following the initial meeting, the journey proceeds toward the Guba region of Azerbaijan. The first point of interest is Qachrash Forest, nearly three hours’ drive from Baku. Qachrash Forest, spanning over 500 hectares at the foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, represents a significant ecological zone characterized by mixed deciduous forest dominated by oaks, beeches and hornbeams. The forest sustains a diverse fauna, including cervids, wild boars and a variety of avian species, making it an important site for biodiversity observation and ecological study. Hydrological features include multiple streams and minor waterfalls, contributing to a microclimate conducive to seasonal flora proliferation. Visitors engage in observational walks for approximately 30 minutes, suitable for ecological photography, ornithological observation and short interpretive hikes.
  • Khinalug
    The tour continues with an 80-minute transfer to Khinalug Village, recognized as one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in the Caucasus at 2,180 meters above sea level. This state historical-architectural and ethnographic reserve accommodates a population of about 2,000 residents and demonstrates continuous human occupation for over 5,000 years. The village exhibits unique sociolinguistic characteristics, including the Ketsh language, an isolate within the Northeast Caucasian family, and maintains a repertoire of traditional crafts such as weaving and carpet making. The surrounding landscape includes alpine meadows, medicinal flora, multiple springs, caves and three hydrologically interconnected lakes exhibiting equal water levels, a phenomenon of geomorphological interest. Guests are provided a 90-minute guided exploration of Khinalug, including visits to local museums and the Sakina Khanum Mosque, complemented by an authentic Azerbaijani culinary experience.
  • Red Village
    The final stop is Red Village located about 80 minutes from Khinalug and 15 km northeast of Quba. Founded in 1742, it is the world’s only all-Jewish village outside Israel and the United States, preserving the heritage of Azerbaijan’s Mountain Jewish community through its distinctive architecture and cultural traditions. Guests spend around 60 minutes with a private guide visiting the Mountain Jews Museum and nearby heritage sites. Afterward, the tour returns to Baku in approximately three hours, ending at the original pick-up point. The full itinerary lasts about 11 hours, including transfers, guided visits, and cultural exploration.
