3.3-hour Candy Mountains Small Group Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · from $65

Travel from Baku to Azerbaijan’s pink and white Candy Cane Mountains in an air-conditioned vehicle. Expect hotel pickup, about three hours on the road, and time to explore the Khizi hills on your own. Drivers may not speak English, so this suits independent sightseers more than anyone seeking a guided nature walk.

“A great half day tour from Baku. Takes about 1.5 hours drive each way. The mountains are definitely unique and worth visiting. However please note in winter weather, take the appropriate footwear or tie plastic bags around your shoes as the clay will stick to your shoes very quickly and it’s a pain to clean there and then. Our driver didn’t speak much English but was very helpful and polite never the less.”
