Begin your day with a scenic drive from Baku to Gabala, passing through changing landscapes, rolling hills, and local vineyards. Arrive at Nohur Lake, a mirror-like lake cradled by the thick forests of the Caucasus. Take a peaceful walk along the shoreline, rent a pedal boat, or simply enjoy a traditional glass of Azerbaijani tea with local sweets while taking in the fresh mountain air.
Next, head to Tufandag Mountain Resort, a world-class alpine destination. Ride the network of scenic cable cars that lift you high above the clouds to the mountain peaks. Enjoy panoramic views of the entire region, and test your nerves on the famous high-altitude mountain swings.
Indulge in a hearty lunch featuring authentic regional dishes like Gabala Kebab or fresh river trout cooked on a wood fire. Afterward, explore the magical Yeddi Gozel (Seven Beauties) Waterfall, a multi-tiered cascade tucked deep inside a dense forest where wooden stairs let you climb past the tiers.
