Itinerary

Besh Barmag Mountain
After pickup, travel about 90 minutes from Baku to Beshbarmag Mountain in the Siyazan District. Known as “Five Fingers” for its unique rock formations, this 382-meter peak is a prominent pilgrimage and viewpoint along the main northern highway. Visit the small shrine area linked to ancient spiritual traditions and local legends, including stories connected to Noah’s Ark. Enjoy a short, manageable ascent and panoramic views over the Caspian coast and Siyazan lowlands, with guided historical and natural explanations during a 60-minute visit.

Candy Cane Mountain
The tour continues to the Candy Cane Mountains, located in the Khizi District, reached by a 50-minute drive from Beshbarmag. Positioned near the town of Khizi along the Baku-Quba highway, this geological formation is known for its vivid red, pink, white and orange mineral bands. These pigment variations are produced through long-term oxidation processes affecting iron-rich sediments. The striped patterns intensify under low-angle sunlight and represent a visually distinct example of Azerbaijan’s geological diversity. The color bands result from mineral weathering rather than stratified sediment layering, giving the hills their signature painted appearance. Visitors spend about 60 minutes walking around the area with guidance explaining the geological processes and visual characteristics.
The tour concludes after the visit to the Candy Cane Mountains. The return transfer to Baku takes 80 minutes, ending with drop-off at the hotel or selected meeting point.
