**DATES: 28 June - 5th July 2026** Join us for an unforgettable homestay trekking adventure through the picturesque mountain villages of Azerbaijan. Nestled in the heart of the Caucasus, Azerbaijan is a land of stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. From the towering peaks and verdant valleys to the ancient traditions preserved in its remote communities, Azerbaijan offers a unique and immersive experience for trekkers. Our journey begins in **Khinalig**, the highest village in the Caucasus, offering breathtaking views of surrounding peaks like Tufandag and GizilGaya. From here, we trek to **Galakhudat**, perched at the base of the steep cliffs of the Gizilgaya plateau, showcasing Azerbaijan’s dramatic landscapes. Next, we visit **Griz**, located amidst a canyon and rocky slopes, providing awe-inspiring natural scenery. Continuing our adventure, we reach **Laza**, a charming village nestled between the Shahdag and GizilGaya plateaus in the Gusarchai river valley. Here, trekkers can enjoy serene, intimate views and the unique culture of the Lezgi ethnic group. We then move to **Kuzun**, set in a lush valley and known for its vibrant culture and beautiful surroundings. Our final destination is **Yergikek**, offering spectacular high-altitude views and a glimpse into the resilient Lezgi community. Throughout this trek, you'll stay with local families, enjoying traditional meals and learning about their customs. Each village presents a distinct cultural and natural landscape, highlighting the diversity and beauty of Azerbaijan’s mountainous regions. Join us for this extraordinary adventure and create lasting memories in the heart of the Caucasus. **TRIP LEADER:** Gary 07968 585224 golondongary@hotmail.co.uk **FULL ITINERARY:** [Click Here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18mBKURAKejKNiMbSUk0LlsYl1MAHd4uy93HvKD892J0/edit?usp=sharing) **GRADE:** Intermediate, hiking on mountain trails. **COST:** £1200 **£200** deposit on RSVP **£500** 1st instalment payable by 28th Feb **£500** balance payable by 28th April ***(NEW ACCOUNT)*** GO Venture LTD, Account No 59563977 sort code 04 00 03 **REF AZJ26** **Total £1200** ***Pay in instalments*** [Click Here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PTP5XT-_zv2p4ilGrnyf_X8CDSLFOtxlb-2inMx47zc/edit?usp=sharing) Please use ref **AZJ26 and** send a screenshot of your payments to golondongary@hotmail.co.uk Your money is protected under travel and package regulations. **INCLUDED:** 3 nights B&B guesthouse accommodation, 4 nights full board in homestays, transport, guided hikes, and local guide. 2 dinners. **NOT INCLUDED:** International flights, drinks, travel insurance, Airport transfer, meals not listed above. **GETTING THERE:** [Click Here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18mBKURAKejKNiMbSUk0LlsYl1MAHd4uy93HvKD892J0/edit?usp=sharing) **KIT LIST:** [Click Here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18mBKURAKejKNiMbSUk0LlsYl1MAHd4uy93HvKD892J0/edit?usp=sharing) By signing up to this event you have confirmed that you agree to GO London's terms and conditions and participation statement.
