Baku to Gusar Transfer

Gusar is a town at the foot of the mountains in northern Azerbaijan. It is a destination in its own right, and it is also the base for Shahdag and Laza.

How long the drive takes

About 185 kilometres and 2 hours 45 minutes.

We take the main road towards Guba. It runs flat and does not climb — the climb starts after Gusar.

Gusar or Shahdag

These two get mixed up often enough to be worth separating.

Gusar is the town. Shahdag is the mountain resort above it. The resort’s own information says it is reached quickly from Gusar by the Laza highway.

If you are staying at Shahdag, we drive you straight there and there is no reason to stop in Gusar. If you are staying in Gusar and exploring from there, this is your route.

Laza village

Laza sits up the mountain road from Gusar and is a trip of its own.

Tell us when you book. We check the road for that day and allow for the time. In summer it is one of the most visited places up there.

Winter

As far as Gusar the road is a main highway and works normally in winter. Above Gusar, on the mountain section, conditions change.

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 travelling with ski gear, book the minivan and tell us how many sets.

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 and time, pick-up address, how many of you there are, your luggage, and whether you are staying in Gusar or carrying on up. With those we give you the current price.
