Ooooh! It's a natural splendor! I liked everything here, and the mountains covered with grass, as if they came off the TV screens from a chocolate commercial - alpine meadows are very beautiful. It's a pleasure to walk there. Along the way, you can meet a herd of sheep, and admire them. And if you want to repeat the path of the pilgrims and climb to the top of the mountain itself, then you can do it by climbing 800 steps. At the top, you will discover the most beautiful views that will take your breath away. You can also sit there, fill up with energy, look into the distance and, perhaps, understand the meaning of being.. Since May, there is an opportunity to drink tea from the samovar, which will embellish your arrival. At the foot of the mountain you can drink tea with delicious treats.

Beautiful views in spring - endless greenery to the horizon and blooming poppies, a great place! Attention, driving on bad mountain roads is required to climb dirt roads, with washouts and loose dirt in places, and a slope of about 30 degrees. Only experienced drivers, beginners better not take risks!

I am very pleased with the visit. The climb is a bit difficult, but with a little rest it is quite good. But there is a beautiful view upstairs, and you can also drink tea there, the guys are cooking a samovar there!

It's beautiful here. At first, we were a little upset that clouds had descended on the mountain, but later it gave the mountain a mysterious and slightly menacing appearance. We took an extra-rail ride to Uncle Yasha. We went up the steps to the prayer room. We went back down and had tea with sweets at the mosque. Great tour.

Mount Beshbarmag, or "Five Fingers", is located 80 km from Baku, near the city of Siazan and the coast of the Caspian Sea. This unique place is known for its ancient legends and historical significance. The mountain got its name due to the shape resembling the five fingers of a hand. In ancient times, Beshbarmag served as a landmark for seafarers and merchants. Defensive structures of the VI century and the ruins of the ancient city of Khursangal, founded in the III century BC, were discovered here. According to legend, the prophet Khidyr found a source of "living water" in the vicinity of the mountain, thanks to which he gained immortality. This place became known as Khidyr Zinda. Historical references to the mountain can be found in the writings of Arab travelers and historians such as Al-Masudi and Al-Bazuri, as well as in the chronicles of the 7th century Albanian historian Musa Galakendli.

We went on a group tour. Beautiful mountain, panoramas! But they did not climb the mountain itself, there were many steps and very high ones - they spared their joints :)

The most interesting thing is to get there yourself. You can drive a rental car all the way to the top. We drank tea at the top, talked with the sage. They say that people come to him for a blessing😀🤷🏼♂️

Beshbarmag will definitely surprise you – it is good in any weather in its own way. We were not very lucky in February – it was foggy, so we did not see the mountain itself from the side, nor the scenery of the valley from it itself. But nature is still beautiful, so you can definitely take an excursion here. If the conditions are completely "not flying", the company will offer to postpone the trip to another day

We were on the mountain in April in sunny, clear weather. This is an incredible amount of colors from nature! We got there by car with a guide, to the stairs by car, then decided to climb the stairs. It's hard, but it's worth it! A holy place for Muslims. It's quiet and nice there. It is definitely worth visiting!

Very cool place, definitely recommend to visit. We drove up to the mountain itself in a rented car, the road is dirt with stones. Be careful there are a lot of snakes in this place, we saw 4 pieces. About one, the experienced guide of other tourists said that it was a local horror, but I doubt something. Be sure to climb to the top of the mountain. It seems that it's very difficult, but it's not and it's worth it. The views are gorgeous.
