Tufandag Summit Tour (4191 m)

We depart from Baku and travel towards Khinalig village in the Guba region (approximately 5 hours). After making our final purchases in Guba, we continue towards Khinalig. In Khinalig village, we change vehicles and continue towards Shahyaylag in off-road mountain vehicles (approximately 2 hours). Along the way, we first pass through Shahdag National Park and then the State Border Service checkpoint before continuing towards Shahyaylag and reaching the foothills of Tufandag.

After leaving the vehicles, we hike for approximately 3 hours with our backpacks to reach the camp. After setting up our tents and resting, we will take an acclimatization hike to help our bodies adjust to the altitude. After dinner, we complete our preparations for the summit and rest for the night.

 We start our ascent to Tufandag Summit at 05:00 in the morning. The ascent takes approximately 5–6 hours. After taking summit photos, we descend back to the camp. The descent will take approximately 2–3 hours. We spend the night at the camp.

After breakfast, we pack up our tents and head towards Shahyaylag, where our vehicles are waiting. We board the vehicles and travel towards Khinalig village. In Khinalig, we change vehicles and continue our journey back to Baku.
