Activity itinerary

Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Yanardag meaning is burning mountain. Yanardag located in Azerbaijan’s Absheron Peninsula. A side effect of the country's plentiful natural gas reserves, which sometimes leak to the surface, Yanar Dag is one of several spontaneously occurring fires to have fascinated and frightened travellers to Azerbaijan over the millennia.
Atashgah Zoroastrian Fire Temple
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Atesgah For a deeper insight into Azerbaijan's history of fire worship, visitors should head east of Baku to Ateshgah Fire Temple. "Since ancient times, they think that [their] god is here," says our guide, as we enter the pentagonal complex which was built in the 17th and 18th century by Indian settlers in Baku. Fire rituals at this site date back to the 10th century or earlier. The name Ateshgah comes from the Persian for "home of fire" and the centrepiece of the complex is a cupola-topped altar shrine, built upon a natural gas vent.
