This was a magical experience that stands as the highlight of our two weeks in Azerbaijan. The village is wonderfully remote and really tricky to reach, the driver did a fabulous job of reaching it via a series of narrow rocky roads. Honestly, I don't know how he did it, incredibly skilful, careful and patient. Our guide Sabina was the perfect host and gave us plenty of insight into Azerbaijan and its culture throughout the day. Having tea and dinner in a villager's home is something you'll never forget, while the hike itself provides breathtaking views. As for the frozen waterfall, you're not gonna be disappointed, it is like something out of a fairytale. Check out my full write up on Leighton Travels dot com.

The trips with them has been very delightful. I have been part of several group tours. When I first moved to baku , their hiking tours gave me a opportunity of seeing all the places of azerbaijan , including the villages and the country sides ,moutains and forests , unseen waterfalls and snow mountains . They not only provided an oppurtunity to travel but also chance to meet and interact with like miinded people. They provided very cost effective trips and reasonable prices , which attracted the local crowd and foreigners equally well. The tour organisers spoke english quite well and had great organising skills. Over the years I have seen them improving the quality of tours. The travel insurances and the payments and pre-bookings facilities had improved. The one who runs the organisation , puts her heart in to making the travels and trips more satisfactory , and tries the best to get the most out of the trip for her clients , in terms of exploring and giving oppurtunity to interact with the local crowd. The owner herself had been a traveller and which is why they value the experiences and tries to deliver the same . Well organised , punctual , payments are clean, notifications are made promplty. Happy with their trips .
