Baku to Gabala Transfer
Get a price for this route (opens in WhatsApp)
Gabala is the most visited mountain destination in Azerbaijan, and it works in summer and winter alike.
How long the drive takes
About 225 kilometres and 3 hours 25 minutes.
The exact figure depends on your pick-up address in the city. Your driver collects you outside your hotel, at the door of your building, or at your office.
What time to leave
On this route the departure time decides how the day goes.
Leave by eight in the morning and you are in Gabala around midday with half the day still ahead of you. Leave late and you catch the traffic getting out of the city and arrive in the late afternoon.
We settle the departure time with you when you book.
One day or an overnight
A day trip is possible, but it makes a long day — roughly seven hours of driving in total.
Staying at least one night is more comfortable, particularly with children. It is your call and we run it either way.
On a day trip your driver stays with you, and you name the return time during the day.
Stopping on the way
It is over three hours. Tea, lunch or a photo stop is normal.
Tell us when you book. We build the time into the schedule and the figure into the quote.
Winter
Gabala runs through the winter, and Tufandag makes that a busy period.
The last stretch of road climbs, and conditions there can change in winter. Send your date in advance and we will tell you how it looks for that day.
Vehicle, luggage and children
A sedan takes one large suitcase. Three or four need the minivan. For a group there is a minibus and a bus.
If you are bringing ski gear, book the minivan.
We provide child seats. Tell us the child’s age.
Payment
Cash, card, or bank transfer. Tell us when you book.
What we need to quote you
Date, pick-up address, departure time, how many of you there are, and whether it is a day trip or an overnight. With those we give you the current price.
