Day1
Shahdag Tour, from Baku.
Shahdag is Azerbaijan's high-mountain resort, set in the Greater Caucasus beneath peaks of more than 4,000 metres. The drive north is half the experience as the land rises from the Caspian plain into the mountains. Up top, the day is yours to shape: walk, ride a lift, try the coaster or, in winter, ski.
Back in Baku the same evening

How group size changes the price
A private tour splits the vehicle, the guide and the driver across your group, so the per-person price falls as the group grows. These are live figures for this exact itinerary.
Calculating…
Weather, month by month
Average daytime high, night-time low and rain days for the places this trip actually goes, from five years of recorded observations. Not a forecast, and not the capital's weather standing in for the mountains.
Best months for this trip: Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct, Nov.
Good to know
- Visas
- It depends on your passport: see visa rules for Azerbaijan, each linked to its government source. We will tell you what we know, but the requirement is yours to check against your own passport.
- Best time to go
- April–June and September–October. We run this trip outside those months too, prices and conditions change, so ask.
- Getting there
- We collect you from your hotel in Baku and bring you back to it. Hotel and airport transfers are not part of a day tour.
- Confirming
- The price you see is real, but it is a quotation until a consultant checks guide and vehicle availability for your dates, normally within 24 hours.
Questions we get asked
Is this a group tour with other people?
No. Every trip on this site is private: your group, your vehicle, your guide, your dates. Nobody else joins you.
Can I join this to a longer trip?
Yes. Every day tour here is one of the days our multi-day trips are built from. A consultant can add it to your trip or build a trip around it.
Is the price per person or total?
Prices show per person for two travellers, with the total alongside. Solo travellers and larger groups price differently, the table above shows how.
When do I pay?
Nothing is taken through this website. A consultant confirms availability, sends a written quote with the payment schedule, and only then do you decide.
What if the weather closes a mountain road?
It happens, mostly outside the months above. We offer the nearest equivalent we can arrange and explain any difference in cost, either way.
