Ateshgah is an ancient Zoroastrian temple of flame built by Indian fire-worshipers’ community back in the 17th-18th centuries. It is designed as a closed pentagon and consists of 24 cells and rooms which were used to accommodate visiting pilgrims. In the middle of this courtyard sits an altar, the centerpiece of the temple complex where fire rituals were observed. The altar is situated right above the natural gas vent, igniting a large flame in the middle. Yanardag (literary “Burning Mountain”) is a hill located on the top of the natural gas pocket causing continuous flame eruption. Thanks to tectonic shifts and volcanic material below the earth’s surface, natural gas leaks from the rocks. Most probably the fire has been burning in Yanardag for over 20,000 years. ** 3rd Day: Breakfast at the hotel. Check out, transfer to the airport.

  • Best of Baku
    Best of Baku Starting From :Rs.:22800 Per Person 5 Days / 4 Nights BAKU .......... Package Description Best of Baku Azerbaijan’s capital is the architectural love child of Paris and Dubai…albeit with plenty of Soviet genes floating half-hidden in the background. Few cities in the world are changing as quickly and nowhere else in the Caucasus do East and West blend as seamlessly or as chaotically. At its heart, the UNESCO-listed lies within an exotically crenellated arc of fortress wall. Around this are gracefully illuminated stone mansions and pedestrianized tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques. The second oil boom, which started around 2006, has turned the city into a crucible of architectural experimentation and some of the finest new buildings are jaw-dropping masterpieces. Meanwhile romantic couples canoodle their way around wooded parks and hold hands on the Caspian-front boulevard , where greens and opal blues make a mockery of Baku’s desert-ringed location. .......... Itinerary Day.1 WELCOME TO BAKU Arrival at Airport Transfer from Airport to Restaurant LUNCH AT INDIAN RESTAURANT Assembly at hotel lobby in sunset time. Proceed to evening city view tour with car Visit toHighland Park-Alley of Martyrs, The National Assembly- also transliterated as Milli Majlis, Flame towers-the tallest skyscraper in Baku. Walking through Baku Boulevard which stretches along a south-facing bay on the Caspian Sea. It traditionally starts at Freedom Square continuing west to the Old City and beyond. Since 2012, the Yeni Bulvar (New Boulevard) has virtually doubled the length to 3.75 km.

  • Official Media
    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.
