About this trip

Nestled in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, At Yaylağı spans the sub-alpine and alpine meadows of the Gabala region — the ideal destination for those who want to experience nature in its purest form. From here, breathtaking views open onto snow-capped peaks rising above 4,000 metres. These lands, used by nomadic shepherds as summer pastures for centuries, offer a rare glimpse of authentic Caucasian mountain life. The panoramic horizon stretches across the Gabala region, surrounding villages, and mountain ranges like a living painting. At Yaylağı is not just a view — it is a feeling, a memory. Start: 900 m | Highest point: 2,050 m | Distance: 13 km | Duration: 5–6 hours | Difficulty: Challenging

Soyuqbulaq Waterfall: Discovering the Hidden 3-Tier Gem of Vandam

Tucked in dense ancient forest on the left bank of the Vandam River, at 1,300 m above sea level, Soyuqbulaq is one of the Caucasus's best-kept secrets — a three-tier waterfall of extraordinary character, just 4.5 km from Vandam village. The trail climbs from 1,000 m through towering forest as the sound of rushing water builds with every step. The first tier greets you gently at 3 m, the second commands attention at 10 m, and the third — the grand finale — drops a thundering 30 m into a rocky basin. Along the approach, sweeping panoramas of Vandamərə and the Greater Caucasus unfold beside you, making the walk itself as rewarding as the destination. Soyuqbulaq is not just a waterfall; it is a journey through three moods of the same mountain stream, each tier its own unforgettable moment. Start: 1,000 m | Highest point: 1,300 m | Distance: 9 km | Duration: 3–4 hours | Difficulty: Moderate
