5.0 7
The far south of Azerbaijan is a different country: humid, green and subtropical, with tea gardens, ancient Hirkan forest and the Talysh mountains whose villagers are famous for their long lives. This Lankaran and Lerik day trip from Baku follows the Caspian coast down to the tea town of Lankaran and climbs to the mountain district of Lerik.
The subtropical south
- Lankaran — tea plantations, a lively bazaar and the warm Caspian coast.
- Hirkan forest — relict woodland that survived the ice ages.
- Lerik — Talysh mountain villages and the longevity museum.
It is a long day south — the coast road is scenic but far — so tours start early and make the drive part of the experience.
Not taking a tour? The road out of Baku is 270 km. How to Get from Baku to Lankaran sets the bus, the hired car and the guided day side by side.
