Some things to note

Some things to note icon
  • Ramadan is observed from 10 March to 09 April 2024, in Azerbaijan.

Please note:

  • On day 6 we will cross the border into Georgia. Your Azerbaijani Tour Director will only accompany you through to the checkpoint. After completing formalities, you are required to walk across the neutral zone via a bridge, unaccompanied by a guide. The walk will take approximately 10 minutes and you will need to carry your own luggage. You will be greeted by your Georgian Tour Director once you arrive at the border and complete formalities at the Georgian checkpoint. Your luggage may be checked and scanned by authorities at checkpoints.
  • On day 12 and day 15 please make sure that today you have sturdy footwear as you will be walking over a lot of uneven ground and stone.
  • On day 13 boat ride in the cave is weather dependent. If water level is too high or low we cannot operate.
  • On day 16 we will cross the border into Armenia. Once we arrive at the border, you will need to exit the bus with your passport and walk through the checkpoint. We then board the same bus and cross the bridge through the neutral zone. Once we arrive at the Armenian checkpoint, we leave the bus and say goodbye to our Georgian Tour Director. You will need to carry your luggage through the indoor checkpoint. Our Armenian guide and bus will be ready to greet us at the exit. Your luggage may be checked and scanned by authorities at checkpoints.
