Gobustan mud volcanoes are a real miracle of nature!
The place is really unusual and worth visiting, especially if you are heading to the Gobustan National Museum.
The way to the volcanoes lies along a 9 km dirt road.
The locals offered their taxi services for 15-30 manats from the national museum of Gobustan, but we decided to try to get there for free on our own, and we did not lose.
The main thing is that the road is dry!
In an old rented Hyundai, we managed to get from the asphalt exit to the volcanoes in 30 minutes.
If you drive from the museum, there will be large pits at the very beginning, but it will not be difficult to go around them. Further on, the road is better, and the most difficult part is climbing the slope directly to the plateau itself. But you can skip this section and climb on foot.
We were able to get to this location already at night, only after 7 pm.
Methane gas coming out of one of the volcanoes was set on fire before us, which gave the place a mystique :)
It was very fascinating to listen to the bubbling of volcanoes in silence.
Probably, the view is even more beautiful at sunrise or sunset ✨
There is something to come and be surprised at here! 🤩

The mud volcanoes of Gobustan are a unique place. Of course, it is good to visit it in spring and summer. In winter, very strong winds blow here and are several degrees lower than in Baku. You can visit the museum, which contains a variety of minerals. If you are traveling by yourself, there is a large parking lot, toilet, cafe nearby. To travel around a large area, you can rent a variety of vehicles.

An interesting and unusual place. The point is shown correctly on the map, you can navigate to it, after refueling from the road you need to turn to the right (from Baku), and then immediately turn left, there will be a railway crossing further on, follow the navigator, go for about 20 minutes. We drove a low car, we drove easily, as long as it didn't rain. You park the car and go for a walk, there are a lot of volcanoes there. A little further away, if you walk, there are two boiling lakes. It is better to wear light clothes or take something to change with you. Volcanoes are splashing.
