Baku Surroundings: Gobustan, Mud Volcanoes, Ateshgah & Yanardag

Leave the city behind and discover the raw natural beauty and spiritual heritage of Azerbaijan in one unforgettable day. This full-day journey takes you across the Absheron Peninsula and beyond — where fire dances on mountain slopes, mud bubbles from the depths of the earth, and ancient civilizations speak through stone.

Gobustan National Reserve
Explore one of the most important archaeological sites in the Caucasus. Gobustan is home to thousands of prehistoric petroglyphs — rock carvings dating back over 10,000 years — depicting hunting scenes, dances, rituals, and ancient animals. Walk among ancient human settlements while enjoying panoramic views of the Caspian coastline.

Mud Volcanoes
Just a short drive from Gobustan, witness a surreal lunar landscape where Azerbaijan’s famous mud volcanoes bubble and gurgle. This is one of the few places in the world where you can get up close to these fascinating natural formations — a fun and rare photo opportunity.

Ateshgah Fire Temple
Step into the ancient world of fire worship at the Ateshgah Temple, a 17th-century fire sanctuary built by Hindu and Sikh merchants. This pentagonal stone complex was constructed on land where natural gas once ignited spontaneously, creating “eternal flames.” It remains one of the country’s most iconic spiritual landmarks.

Yanardag – The Burning Mountain
Your tour ends with a visit to Yanardag, Azerbaijan’s legendary burning hillside. Here, natural gas escaping from underground continuously fuels flames that rise along the slope — a striking and otherworldly sight, especially around sunset. It’s a true symbol of the Land of Fire.
