Gamigaya rock carvings

Ordubad District

Ancient rock carvings in the high mountains northwest of Ordubad, requiring an arranged expedition rather than a casual stop.

This is a remote high-mountain archaeological destination, not a casual roadside stop. Plan permissions, guiding and terrain carefully; never trace, wet, chalk or scratch a carving to improve its visibility.

This is a remote or difficult-to-access location. First confirm whether a visit is possible, any permissions and a suitable guide; a directory entry is not a prepared trail.

Nakhchivan is separated from the main part of the country. Plan transport separately rather than assuming a continuous road journey from Baku.
