5.0 7
Some of the strangest scenery in Azerbaijan sits within an easy day of Baku: a lake that turns rose-pink, hills striped like candy canes and a five-finger sacred mountain. This pink lake tour from Baku is the day for photographers and anyone who wants landscapes that look like nowhere else — the Masazir pink lake, the rainbow mountains of Khizi, and Beshbarmag.
The surreal shortlist
- The Pink Lake (Masazir) — a salt lake that blushes rose in the right light.
- Candy Cane Mountains (Khizi) — folded red, pink and ochre ridges.
- Beshbarmag — the legendary five-finger mountain over the coast.
An easy, camera-first day with short walks rather than hiking — the colours are the point.

Frequently asked questions
Is the pink lake near Baku really pink?
Masazir is a salt lake that takes on a pink to rose hue from salinity and micro-algae. The colour is strongest on warm, bright days and varies with the season.
What else is on a pink lake day trip?
Usually the candy-cane (rainbow) mountains of Khizi and the Beshbarmag mountain, making it a full day of unusual landscapes rather than one stop.
Is it a hiking day?
No — it is built around short walks and viewpoints for photos, not a trek.
When is the best time for the colours?
Late spring through early autumn, in bright midday light, gives the lake and the striped hills their strongest colour.
