Ateshgah - Fire TempleAfter lunch, we’ll visit Ateshgah, also known as the Fire Temple of Baku. Located in the Surakhani district, this unique temple was once a place of worship for Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs over the centuries. The name ‘Atash’ means ‘fire’ in Persian, and the temple was built around natural gas flames that burned continuously. Dating back to the 17th–18th centuries, Ateshgah became an important pilgrimage site until the late 1800s. The temple has a five-sided structure with fortress-like walls, an arched entrance, and a central altar in the courtyard where fire-worshippers once gathered.

Yanar DagAzerbaijan’s iconic "Burning mountain"-Yanardag is located north of Baku city, around 23km from the Old Town. The main attraction of Yanardag is a spectacular hill with a constantly burning wall of flames. Thanks to tectonic shifts and volcanic material below the earth’s surface, natural gas leaks from the rocks. The Italian trader and traveler Marco Polo even mentioned the flames during his travels to Baku and its surroundings, but most probably the fire has been burning for over more years at Yanardag. The fire line surrounding the foot of the summit will give you an impression of the Land of Lights and leave an unforgettable memory of the tour.To protect Yanardagh and attract tourists here, this area was declared a historical, cultural and natural reserve in 2007.
