10 Reasons Why You Should Visit Azerbaijan!

10 Reasons Why You Should Visit Azerbaijan!

1. Its untouched nature

Azerbaijan is worth visiting during winter as well as summer and spring. Lovers of mountains must add this place to their lists because mind blowing sights are everywhere in the majestic Caucasus ranges. In winter, they’re white and brown, and beautiful in a rugged way. And among those mighty mountains are frozen waterfalls and streams which are hidden but worth a trek. And frozen lakes like the one in Gabala are incredible.

2. Ski Resorts

Shahdag is perfect for a short ski-cation, that much is guaranteed. Think about an actual winter wonderland, less crowded, cheaper than the most popular ski resorts in the world and a great option no matter how old you are or who you are travelling with. That is Shahdag.

3. Baku

It’s true what they say about Baku being the “Paris of the Caucasus”. The capital city which is also known as Baki and “City of Winds” has boulevards lined with Beaux Arts buildings, and a walkway along the Caspian Sea which is perfect if you like to go for long strolls.

4. Sheki

Sheki is a small city on the slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. It’s rich in Islamic architecture, Silk Road history, and delicious food. Not visiting this quiet, magical and charming town is a mistake most travellers make.

5. Villages

Remote villages in Azerbaijan are truly beautiful and only the most determined travelers can actually get there which makes them even better. Their inhabitants may not speak English but they’re some of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet.

6. The People

Yes, the people again. They’re hospitable, friendly, curious to know about where tourists are from and always happy to meet travelers.

Most of them don’t speak English but a lot of them speak Russian. The most admirable thing is that even though communication is hard, they try to help you in whatever way they can.

7. Hot Wine

This non-alcoholic, sweet and sour drink is the best option in winter. If you’re planning to stay at a ski resort, you can get it in the cafés nearby and enjoy it with the view of the pure white mountains.

Apart from being an oil-producing nation and the Land of Fire, Azerbaijan is also land of wine with a long history of wine production. Archeologists have even found remains of wines from the second millennium BC.

8. It’s not “touristy”

Tourism is on the rise in the country but Azerbaijan is not annoyingly crowded yet, especially the places away from Baku. Backpackers are a rare sights and most tourists are Arabs or families who limit their trips to less adventurous stays in Baku and Shahdag.

9. Gobustan

Out of 800 mud volcanoes in the world, Azerbaijan has 350. Gross? Not really. They’re pretty fascinating to watch. Mud volcanoes can spew out a lot of mud and hydrocarbon gases. They also act as exploration wells and help learn about the formation of oil and gas. And the best thing is they are in Gobustan, which is not far from Baku.

10. The Cuisine

Azerbaijan’s rich cuisine will not disappoint you. So don’t miss out on authentic food when you’re there.
