Zafar Peak Trekking 4301 m

We depart from Baku for Guba (approximately 3 hours). After making our final purchases in Guba, we continue toward Khinalig village (approximately 2 hours). Upon arrival in Khinalig, we continue by mountain vehicles to the first camp of Mount Zafar (approximately 2 hours). The first camp is located at an altitude of 2,900 meters. Here, we complete our final preparations, take our camping equipment, and continue toward the second camp located at an altitude of 3,250 meters (approximately 2 hours).

At 04:00 in the morning, we begin our ascent toward Zafar Summit (4,300 m). The ascent to the summit takes approximately 7–8 hours, while the descent takes 4–5 hours. After completing our summit climb, we return to camp and spend the night in tents at the second camp.

After breakfast, we pack our tents and at 10:00 begin descending toward the point where the vehicles are waiting. From there, we travel by mountain vehicles to Khinalig village. In Khinalig, we change vehicles and continue our journey back to Baku.
