Mount Ilandag

Julfa District

A conspicuously cleft mountain and landscape landmark in Nakhchivan, associated with local Noah traditions.

The mountain's split silhouette can be appreciated from a suitable permitted viewpoint. Keep the local Noah tradition distinct from geological explanation, and do not treat an exterior panorama as evidence of an easy climbing route.

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.
