Things to do in Candy Cane Mountains

We had such a wonderful experience on the Shahdag and Candy Cane Mountain small tour! 🏔️❤️ The views were absolutely beautiful, and the tour was well-organized and enjoyable from start to finish. A special shoutout to our guide, Emily! She was incredibly supportive, friendly, and insightful throughout the whole trip. She made sure we were comfortable, helped us whenever we needed it, and shared so much interesting information about the places we visited. You could really tell that she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Thank you, Emily, for making our trip even more memorable! 🥹❤️ We highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Emily as your guide!

Had a fantastic experience on the Baku–Khinaliq & Candy Cane Mountain Full-Day Tour. The tour was well organized, with convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off. Our guide, Mr. Murad, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable throughout the nearly 12-hour journey. The drive to Khinaliq Village was the highlight of the tour—the mountain views along the way were simply breathtaking. Most of the attractions in the itinerary were covered, making it an excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Emiliya, was wonderful. We got to hear a lot of stories about the tourist spots and Azerbaijan. At the beginning of the tour, she went over the itinerary, and it was really helpful that every time we got back in the car, she told us how long it would take to reach the next destination. Unfortunately, due to the previous day's rain, the Pink Lake looked like a regular lake rather than being pink. The mountain roads to Besh Barmag (Five Finger Mountain) and the Candy Cane Mountains are unpaved gravel roads and can be a bit bumpy. If you easily get car sick, you might want to take some motion sickness medicine. In the chat the day before, we were advised to dress warmly as it could get cold. However, the weather was nice and warm on our day, so a single short-sleeved shirt was fine. The restroom at Besh Barmag is free, but there was no toilet paper or hand-washing facilities. The restaurant for lunch also did not have toilet paper, so please bring your own. The fish at lunch was delicious (I think the restaurant's name was Satis). The Candy Cane Mountains were beautiful, featuring layers of about four different colors.
