Embark on the adventure of a lifetime on the most spectacular trekking route from Alik to Kuzun in Azerbaijan. In this great panoramic itinerary we will not only conquer Bazarduzu (4,466 m), Shahdag (4,243 m) , Kharibulbul (2,783 m), but we will also visit some of the most interesting places in Azerbaijan: the Gobustan National Park, the mud volcanoes, the Ateshgah temple and the country’s capital, Baku.
Before the climb, we will begin with gradual acclimatization and extend the climb up the mountain over several days. This will allow you to face the mountain safely, as long as you are physically prepared and do not have any health contraindications (even without any previous experience in high mountains). Throughout the trip you will be accompanied by our team: a trip leader and a guide (also trained in mountain medical rescue), who will be responsible for your safety.
We promise that this expedition will take your breath away, and that’s when you will feel like you are truly alive.
