The minivan hums away from Heydar Aliyev International, and the city glass recedes into rolling hills. By the time the Caspian is a pale ribbon behind them, the road has climbed into pine-scented passes — Gabala’s mountains breathe cool air that seems to push the traveler forward. On this seven-day circuit, the itinerary alternates between long drives and sudden swells of landscape: cable cars that lift you above birch and fir, waterfalls that demand a short climb to reveal their full cascade, and stuttering plateaus where ancient humans left themselves on stone.

Conservation
