Guide details

A full introduction so you know what to expect when you book with Orhan.

I specialise in the north of Azerbaijan—especially Sheki and the surrounding mountains, forests, and villages. Sheki is one of the country’s most beautiful cities, with its Khan’s Palace, caravanserais, and centuries-old craft traditions. I know the region’s history, the best routes, and the local people who keep the traditions alive.

My tours often start from Baku and can be tailored as a full-day or multi-day trip. We’ll cover the Palace of the Sheki Khans, the ancient Albanian church in Kish, local sweets and silk workshops, and the stunning scenery along the way. I explain the role of Sheki on the Silk Road, the mix of cultures in the region, and why it’s often called the jewel of the north.

I speak English and Azərbaycan and am used to organising transport, lunch stops, and optional overnight stays. Whether you want a focused day trip or a longer exploration of the north, I’ll design an itinerary that fits your time and interests. I look forward to showing you a different side of Azerbaijan beyond the capital.

    Great value and small groups.

    5/5Great value and small groups.

    Highly recommend. The group size was small so we could ask plenty of questions. Booking was smooth.
