The mountain is a solid rock and is one of the most famous mountains in the Caucasus, known for its mythical stories. It is a sacred place for regular visitation by pilgrims. Tide marks on the mount attest to meltwater inundation from the northern glacial ice caps and date back to the end of the last ice age. The tidelines confirm the theory of a Holocene outflow of meltwater from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, rather than a direct incursion of sea water into the Black Sea as a result of global sea level rise. Estimates of the increase in Caspian Sea level height are between + 20 and 30 m

Beshbarmag and Candy Cane
This tour through the Beshbarmag and Khizi Mountains was nothing short of amazing. Ali is one of the best guides I’ve ever had. He not only knew the geography and history of the area, but his enthusiasm made the tour so much fun. The sheer beauty of the Khizi Mountains, especially with their distinct Candy Cane-like colors, was something I’ll never forget. Fuad took great care to ensure we were safe and had the best experience possible. I also appreciated the flexibility of the tour and how well-organized it was. Highly recommend GuidedAzerbaijan❤ Armando Jose 17.04.2023

An adventurer’s dream
As an avid hiker, this tour exceeded all expectations. Elnara was fantastic—her deep understanding of the geology and history of the mountains made the hike fascinating. The colorful Candy Cane Mountains were like something from a fairytale, and it was fun to see the diverse landscapes of Khizi. Elnara’s energy and positive attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. R. Johnson 10.03.2024
