Highlights
  • Yanar Dag - Yanardag also known as Burning mountain is a natural gas fire. This natural gas fire blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea 25 KM northeast of the Baku city. So, the Yanardag belongs to Absheron district in Azerbaijan. The flames from the Yanardag jet out at least 3 meters into the air from a thin porous sandstone layer. Because it gets a steady seep of gas from the subsurface so the flame from the Yanardag burns quite steadily. This burning mountain is different from nearby mud volcanoes of Lokbatan or Gobustan as Yanardag has no seepage of mud or liquid like mud volcanoes has and so mud volcanoes don’t burn as steadily as Yanardag does.

Additional Information

We plan to travel or sometimes fall in wish of traveling around!
Seems all of us felt it in way of: ‘ Let`s get some adventure, to see new unusual places, enjoy our time’.
If someone would ask you:
Do you want to see the city built up based on oil (petrol) industry?
But, if in additional you will see land of fire with ancient flaming mountains and mud volcanoes?
Little bit Europe soul of architectural style, in mix of beauties of Azerbaijan’s life style houses - this cocktail so good for the soul and mind.
Explore it, drink it and get new vision of something spiritual, shining around in hand of Caspian sea.
I would love to invite all of you to discover this places with our unique tours which can take you to Caucasian mountains, petrol platform, golden palaces and boating!
Please let me know if you have any questions about Land of Fire and petrol.

Amazing Yarandag (flame hill) tour - That was an excellent, excellent tour!! I loved the fire mountain, such a striking view!! Also the Zoroastrian temple was super interesting with the current exhibition and Nuran providing information about the history of the temples and Zoroastrism in Azerbaijan. The car was very comfortable and we had the water, sanitizing wipes and everything provided. Nuran also recommended a place to have lunch at which was really outstanding food - actually all Azerbaijani cuisine is absolutely delicious. We went with Nuran’s recommendations on the other days of the trip and we really happy with the historical restaurants she recommended and local food choices too!
