Hirkan National Park

Nature and Adventure in Hirkan National Park

Bordered by the Caspian Sea and the lush Talysh Mountains, Lankaran is ideally placed between two of Azerbaijan's best nature reserves. The marshes of the Gizil Aghaj reserve on the Caspian coast, just north of the town of Lankaran, are famous for hosting a multitude of waterfowl, including the flamingo which migrates here from Africa every winter. Meanwhile, the vast Hirkan National Park extends into the Lankaran and Astara regions. It is a botanist's paradise home to a wide variety of trees, including ancient iron trees that survived the last ice age as well as the highly endangered Caucasian leopard. Over a dozen marked routes offer great hiking opportunities, some with lunch breaks and tea breaks along the way in timeless local villages.
