Getting there is not easy as you will need to take a taxi from Guba to Khinalig if you travel to Guba from Baku by inter-city bus. If traveling by car, it would be easier to reach there on an off-road vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Khinalig offers an opportunity to explore one of Azerbaijan\u2019s top ethno-tourism spots and enjoy an intriguing local culture while experiencing the full majesty of the Caucasus Mountains. As descendants of one of the ancient Caucasian Albanian tribes, the locals speak a completely unique language. Travelling here will allow you to discover their intriguing local culture and rural lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel.kb-gallery-id-_b91008-65 .kt-blocks-carousel
