You can go skiing in the winter in Shahdag, Tufandağ, go to the beach enjoy the waters of the Caspian Sea in the summer, taste the pomegranate and quince fruits in the fall, and finally, you can celebrate Nowruz (spring festival) to get to know the spirit of the country in the spring.Azerbaijan is located in 9 climatic zones. All kinds of fruits are grown here.
The beauty of nature will fascinate you! The richness of the trees comes from the rich soil. The sound of flowing rivers is heard and the mountains are seen from afar.Come to the friendly, hospitable, and talented masters and enjoy delicious cuisine!Beyond the cities, and disconnected Naxchıvan, most of Azerbaijan’s scenic highlights lie in the spectacular, snowcapped Greater Caucasus or its luxuriantly forested foothills. Some of these zones are accessible from the Baku–Balakən road, others from the Quba–Qusar area, but unless you’re prepared to hike via 3000m-plus passes there’s no direct way to cross between these two regions.
