• Yanardag – The Burning Mountain
Continue to Yanardag (Fire Mountain), located about 25 km north of Baku on the Absheron Peninsula.
The name “Yanardag” translates to “Blazing Mountain” — a perfect description of this natural wonder. Flames naturally burst from the hillsides due to underground gas vents, creating an awe-inspiring sight of fire dancing across the rocky surface.

These carvings depict hunting scenes, human figures, animals, ships, constellations, and daily life of ancient civilizations. Some of the oldest petroglyphs date back to the 12th century BC.

The village sits along the banks of the Gudyalchay River, on the slopes of the Greater Caucasus Range.

The name “Qachrash” comes from Persian:

kach – pistachio

ras – steppe / foothills / meadows

Constructed between 1761–1762 during the reign of Hussein Khan Mushtaq (grandson of Haji Chelebi), the palace is an architectural masterpiece of the 18th century.
The palace was built using raw bricks, river stones, plane trees, and oak, but the most astonishing fact is that not a single nail or drop of glue was used in its construction.
Everything holds together through a unique traditional technique — a secret formula that has been lost over time.
The palace is world-famous for its colorful stained-glass windows (shebeke), exquisite wall paintings, and detailed wooden carvings.

• Caravanserais
Continue your tour with a visit to the historic Sheki Caravanserais.
During the Middle Ages, the rapid development of trade increased the importance of caravanserais across Azerbaijan.
