A highland lake in Nakhchivan's countryside, known for its open mountain and meadow scenery.
Observe the lake in its open highland setting and plan for changing weather. Ask which approach is currently permitted; an attractive landscape does not imply unrestricted access to every track or nearby ridge.
Check road conditions, weather and the difficulty of the approach. Choose a route suited to your experience and arrange a local guide when needed.
Nakhchivan is separated from the main part of the country. Plan transport separately rather than assuming a continuous road journey from Baku.
