Upon arrival, you will meet your guide and horses at the riding grounds. No experience? No problem — a short training session is included for all guests.

Later, step into the daily rhythm of an authentic Azerbaijani village. Tour a traditional village house and its courtyard, meet the farm animals, and help feed them. Experience how generations have lived in harmony with nature.
Evening
End the evening with aromatic samovar tea served with homemade jams and local sweets. Spend the night in a cozy traditional village house. Fall asleep to the sounds of nature — no traffic, no screens, just pure mountain air and starlit skies.
