Candy Cane Mountains

Khizi District

Colour-banded shale hills along the road toward Altiaghach, known for red, orange and pale geological patterns.

Look at the bands of colour from a safe permitted stop away from traffic. The exposed hills are a landscape to observe, not a reason to cross an unsafe roadside or remove pieces of rock as souvenirs.

Check road conditions, weather and the difficulty of the approach. Choose a route suited to your experience and arrange a local guide when needed.
