5-Day Trekking in Greater Caucasus Mountains

Embark on an unforgettable adventure on this 5-day, 4-night trek through the remote villages nestled within the majestic Greater Caucasus Mountains of Azerbaijan. Hike along historic trails, immerse yourself in the local culture, and discover the breathtaking beauty of this region.

OVERVIEW

The 5-Day Remote Villages Trekking Tour is well suited to fit hillwalkers, capable of trekking for multiple days carrying a midsized backpack. We follow footpaths each day and the terrain is very hilly so expect big and moderate climbs and descents each day. We stay in a mixture of mountain refuges such as homestays and guesthouse during the trek, which all provide basic but comfortable lodging and good food. This helps keep our packs light carrying only snacks, clothing and essentials.

This 5 day / 4 night trekking is an incredible opportunity to completely immerse yourself in the mountains of the remote villages in Guba and Gusar and enjoy the natural beauty of the valleys that surround highest summits of the Greater Caucasus in Azerbaijan. The trek offers an unusual variety of spectacular scenery and varied walks and you are sure to come away from this trek refreshed and invigorated, if a little creaky at the joints.

This trip is great for those short on time who want as much trekking ‘bang for their buck’ as they can manage.
