Gobustan & Absheron tour

Gobustan occupies the south-eastern spur of the Great Caucasian Range and situated 60 km south of Baku. Caves and rock outcroppings surround the region. Gobustan, Mud Volcano, Burning Land and Fire Temple Tour is one of the most popular destinations in Azerbaijan. In addition, around Gobustan National Park along the coast of the Caspian Sea are located mud volcanoes-oozing, gurgling mounds of once-subterranean sludge and methane Unlike lava-spewing igneous volcanoes or the whiffy bubbling mud of Rotorua, the contents of Gobustan’s mud domes are cold. Fire Temple of Baku(Ateshgah) is a religious temple in Surakhani town. “Ateshgah” was a pilgrimage and philosophical centre of Zoroastrians from Northwestern Indian Subcontinent, who were involved in trade with the Caspian area by the famous “Grand Trunk Road”. Burning Land(Yanardag) is a natural gas fire which blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea near Baku.
