This two-day independent journey takes you from Baku westward into Azerbaijan, along the historic stops of the Silk Road. The route lets you wander at your own pace, without rushing: you'll see the ancient shrines of Shamakhi, watch coppersmiths at work along the cobbled craft street of Lahij, rise above the clouds on the cable car in mountainous Gabala, and spend the night in the silk city of Sheki. On the second day you'll explore Sheki's Khan's Palace, its caravanserai and the ancient Caucasian Albanian church at Kish. Hotel pick-up and drop-off, comfortable transport and all entrance fees are included — only a driver accompanies you, so you set your own timing at every stop. It's an ideal choice for travellers who want to see Azerbaijan at their own rhythm, without the pressure of a guide.

Baku (start) — pick-up from your hotel at 09:00 (the driver arrives 10 minutes early). For those arriving overland, a start from the Georgia–Azerbaijan border is also possible.
We pick up from all hotels in Baku.

Leaving Baku, you visit Shamakhi's Juma Mosque — considered the first in the Caucasus — take in the Shamakhi canyon, and spend an hour on Lahij's cobbled craft street and at its local history museum. Then the suspension bridge, Gabala's Tufandag cable car, Nohur Lake and the Yeddi Gozel waterfall. Overnight in Sheki.

Explore central Sheki: the historic caravanserai, the 18th-century Palace of the Sheki Khans, and the Church of Kish from the era of Caucasian Albania. Then the drive back to Baku, arriving at your hotel around 9 PM.
