Azerbaijan · GUBA & CANDY CANE MOUNTAIN DAYS

The 15 Best Quba & Candy Cane Mountain Trips

57 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $5

The striped ridges have no gate and no ticket office, so every visit is a stop on a longer northern day. The 15 here vary by what else they take in — the Afurja waterfall, the Quba orchards, the old quarter across the river — and by how much time you get out of the car.

The lunch in the family home was excellent. Slight issue was I requested a hotel pick up which happened but on return was just dropped in central area quite late at night which was quite a way from hotel.”

The trip covered all the mentioned places except Besh Barmarg. They just showed the mountains from the highway, which was disappointing.”

Day trip from Baku to Quba and Khinalug for mountain views, Red Town synagogues, and homemade Azerbaijani lunch, with pickup.

“The Guide was very good. He helped us learn the language. He was also helped us order food at the roadside stand and get me vegetarian food at the home stay in the mountains. However, I must’ve misread the itinerary. It was essentially a very long drive with a short lunch. And nothing else. I strongly discourage you from doing this tour.”

A full day from Baku to see pink Candy Mountain, Beshbarmaq, Guba, Shahdag resort thrills, and Laza Waterfall, with a pro guide.

“Our trip was absolutely wonderful, and having Ramil as our guide made the experience even better. Since our group on the bus was small, we had plenty of time to talk with him and learn a lot about life, traditions, and culture in Azerbaijan. He was warm, fun, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day. The itinerary itself was excellent. If you have the chance, definitely choose the option that includes the Laza Waterfall and lunch — the waterfall is mesmerizing, and even the meal was surprisingly good. After lunch, we continued toward Shahdag, where the roller coaster ride turned out to be a highlight. A great tip is to…”
