Price on requestTour details
North into the Greater Caucasus: Quba, the Red Village across the river, and Khinalig, one of the highest villages in the Caucasus.
A long day north into the Greater Caucasus. Quba is the market town at the foot of the mountains, and across its river is the Red Village, home to a Mountain Jewish community for centuries. From there the road follows the Gudiyalchay gorge up to Khinalig, a stone village high above the valley whose people speak a language found nowhere else.
Private, from your hotel, with an English or Russian-speaking guide. Go between May and October: in winter the road to Khinalig can be closed by snow.
Quba
The market town of the north, known for its apples and its carpets.
Red Village (Qırmızı Qəsəbə)
Qırmızı Qəsəbə, home to a Mountain Jewish community for centuries, with its synagogues just across the river from Quba.
Gudiyalchay gorge road
The road up to Khinalig runs through a narrow gorge with rock walls on both sides. Some of the best views of the day are from the car.
Khinalig village
About 2,300 metres up, among the highest inhabited villages in the Caucasus. The stone houses step down the hillside, one roof forming the yard of the next.

Tell us when you write. A night in the mountains turns this into a two-day trip, and we price that instead.
Narrow and winding through the gorge. Our drivers know it well, and if the weather makes it a bad day to go, we tell you before you set off.

Khalid Najafov
Founder and driver-guide
I don’t run tours from behind a desk. I meet a lot of our guests myself and often drive them across the country, and what I want is for every one of them to leave already thinking about coming back.
Khalid spent most of his childhood in Shusha. That is why this company is built around Karabakh rather than treating it as one stop among many, and why he would rather you saw the city slowly than efficiently. Showing Azerbaijan to people who have never seen it is the part of the work he likes most.

More about the companyReal stories from travelers who discovered Karabakh and Azerbaijan with Pink Travel.
The tour was genuinely fantastic. Top-class guide. A brand new, comfortable coach. The hotels were all exactly like the photos, really great. The biggest and most important plus of this tour is the low price combined with top quality — exactly what every traveller is looking for. We liked absolutely everything, and we will be booking with this company again. Many thanks ☺️
We’ve just returned from a long 4-day trip with Khalid and Pink Travel. Everything went smoothly and exactly as agreed. Khalid catered to our individual requirements and everything was brilliant. I can highly recommend his services. A wonderful country – we’ll definitely be back for more adventures, and Chalid will be our guide again! I’d give it 6 stars :-)
I had a bespoke two day trip with my driver Nijat. Nijat was fantastic and full of information and advice about Azerbaijan. He was kind attentive and made the trip truly special. The trip was well organised and everything went smoothly. I felt safe at all times and Xalid was quick to respond prior to my trip to help with any questions.
We had a great trip to Karabakh with Pink Travel and Xalid. It was a private 2 day tour which was specifically tailored to our interests. Xalid was very good at communicating with us prior to the trip and we felt that we were in good hands. We stayed in a hotel in Khankendi which was in the centre of the city, Xalid showed us all the main sights across Karabakh in the two days we were there, it's such beautiful countryside. The highlight for me, of course, was Susha! Xalid sorted out our authorisation to visit the area in advance and he also took us to meet some of his friends in the region and we also had the chance to chat to other locals during the course of our trip. He was an excellent driver and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.
Great experience start to finish with Pink Travel. Our guide made it easy and enjoyable to see Baku and the Karabakh. Sights, restaurants, meeting people: everything was organised really well, flexible when plans changed. Highly recommend to anyone.
I planned a trip to Karabakh with Pink Travel Agency last year, and I had a great experience. Khalid was incredibly helpful and managed to organize everything for me on very short notice. He was not only a knowledgeable guide but also very entertaining, making the whole time enjoyable and memorable. I really appreciated his flexibility and professionalism. I would happily travel with Pink Travel Agency and Khalid again. Highly recommended!
