About Tour

2 Day(s)

Nestled at 1,540 meters above sea level within the breathtaking landscapes of Shahdag National Park, Lake Qaranohur is not only known for its mesmerizing views, but also for the peaceful, clean, and accessible environment it offers to camping enthusiasts.

The trail to the lake begins from the villages of Talistan and Diyally, winding through forested paths that slowly carry you away from the noise of the city and into the calm embrace of the mountains. Along the way, the sounds of birdsong, rustling leaves, and trickling mountain streams add a magical rhythm to your journey.

At the lake's edge, a designated camping zone established by Shahdag National Park provides all the essentials for a comfortable and responsible outdoor stay. Here, you can pitch your tent, light a campfire, and spend the night under a sky full of stars – all while respecting and preserving the natural environment.

Camping at Qaranohur is more than just sleeping outdoors – it’s about stargazing in absolute silence by the lake, breathing in the scent of the forest at dawn, and sipping a warm cup of coffee as the sun rises over the mountains.

If you're looking for a genuine connection with nature, peaceful relaxation, and memories that will stay with you, a camping trip to Lake Qaranohur is the perfect escape.
