When can I see lavender fields in bloom in Azerbaijan?

Late June to mid-July is peak lavender season in Gabala. Fields are purple, fragrant and perfect for photos. Outside this period they look plain green.

What makes the Seven Beauties Waterfall special?

Seven cascading levels dropping ~50 m into a forest gorge, named after Nizami's poem. Best from May to October — a refreshing stop after Tufandag heights.

Is this Gabala tour good for photography enthusiasts?

Perfect — Shamakhi mosque, Nohur Lake reflections, Tufandag peaks, lavender fields (in season) and Seven Beauties Waterfall. Bring wide-angle and drone.

An amazing full-day trip from Baku to Gabala and Shamakhi. The cable car up Tufandag Mountain was a highlight and the lavender fields were truly Instagram-worthy. Everything was well organised and our driver was very professional.

Great combination of nature and culture. The Juma Mosque in Shamakhi is stunning, Seven Beauties Waterfall is refreshing and Nohur Lake is a perfect photo spot. Long day but absolutely worth it.
