11–12 hours.
Moderate endurance for a full day of sitting in a vehicle and short walks; accessible to most fitness levels.
Most private tours depart from Baku with pickup and drop‑off included; confirm your pickup point when booking.
Cable car access is not included in the tour price; the operator lists separate fares (around 14–20 AZN per person depending on stops).
Expect short, uneven walks on stone pavements and brief steps into workshops — not strenuous, but uneven underfoot.
Meals are typically not included; the itinerary allows time for lunch in Gabala or snacks in Lahij, and your driver can recommend local options.
Gabala served as the capital of Caucasian Albania for centuries; archaeological finds show continuous settlement since at least the 4th century BC.
