Getting from Sheki Back to Gabala

Distance
90 km
Driving time
1h 30m

Ninety minutes for 90 km back along the southern slope, with the mountains on your left this time; the road is described on the Gabala to Sheki page. Nobody travels this as a destination — it is the middle of a week, the move back from the palace and the caravanserai towards the forest and the cable car, or the first hour of a longer run home.

Regional buses and minibuses cover it, station to station, on a local timetable that changes; with light luggage and a flexible morning that is a genuinely easy way to do it. A car is quoted on request because this leg is almost never alone: most people are carrying on to Baku afterwards, and booking Sheki→Gabala and Gabala→Baku together means one driver and one conversation rather than two handovers in a car park.

Prices are per car, not per seat — which is why four people usually pay less each than four bus tickets plus the taxi at the far end. There is no separate one-way rate: a day trip comes back the same day, and if the car stays with you longer, the nights are added on the booking form.

Frequently asked questions

How long is Sheki to Gabala?
About an hour and a half for 90 km. It is the same road in reverse and no slower in this direction.
Is there a bus?
Yes, regional buses and minibuses run between the two. They go station to station rather than hotel to hotel, and the timetable is a local matter that changes with the season.
Why is the price on request?
Because it is rarely a journey on its own. What it costs depends on whether it is a single hop or the first hour of a run that continues to Baku the same day.
Should we book the Baku leg at the same time?
If you are going on, yes. One booking means the same driver and one arrangement, and it avoids handing your luggage over in a bus station car park halfway.
