Experience a unique journey to Khinalig – one of the highest and most ancient villages in Azerbaijan, hidden in the Caucasus Mountains at 2,500 m above sea level. With a history dating back thousands of years, Khinalig is home to around 2,000 residents who preserve their own language, traditions, and lifestyle.

This isolated mountain village, located just 65 km west of Guba, is often called an “open-air museum” thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, stone houses, and rich cultural heritage. Visitors are fascinated by the untouched nature, the warmth of the locals, and the rare ethnographic group that makes Khinalig so special.

According to ancient legends, the people of Khinalig are descendants of Prophet Noah. For centuries, the village remained difficult to reach due to its steep mountain roads, but today a modern asphalt road connects Guba to Khinalig, making this hidden gem more accessible than ever.
