Just back from an amazing tour to Khinaliq Village, and wow, was it a journey to remember! The trip was thrilling, thanks to our expert driver, Mr. Kamran, who navigated the mountain roads with such professionalism, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout. Our tour guide, Ms. Senuber, was incredibly helpful, enriching the experience with her knowledge and kindness. Having lunch with the locals in the village was more than just a meal; it was an immersion into the rich culture and traditions of Khinaliq. The warmth and hospitality of the villagers were heartwarming, and the food was simply delicious authentic flavors that you can't find anywhere else. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.
The journey to Khilaniq was beautiful scenic. I would put this experince at the very top position among all the experiences in Azerbaizan. This should not be missed.
We had an amazing tour with guided Azerbaijan to Quba and into the mountains towards Khinalig. We took a private tour with driver and guide that enabled us to tune the itinerary and stop times to our preferences. the weather was perfect and the mountains were white from the first snow that came down a day or 2 before our tour. The tour was organized very well, everything was on time and Ulya the guide and driver were great !!
Khinaliq was fantastic! Our guide and driver organised an extra driver as the bridge is destroyed and only a Niva can go up. We loved this trip!
