Great outdoors and touring experience
The trip through the countryside of Azerbaijan is breathtaking in its beauty. Highly recommend going for this during good weather. The tour was organized well, and the cars used were comfortable. Toghrul and Leyla have been amazing tour guides, extremely knowledgable about Gabala and Shekhi.

Toghrul guide and his wonders!
We had the best trip ever..only due to Toghrul. He kept us and the kids entertained throughout the trip. There was never a dull moment because of him. Trivia, fun facts and his jokes ensured the journey was full of laughter. History was explained in a very detailed manner. Showed us lot of nice places along the way and was accommodative. We wanted him for our other trips as well but were unfortunate as the agency had other clients for him to attend. Request for him..he’s the best!!! Overall a great trip!

From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.
How much does From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baku usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baku is not rushed.
Is From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baku, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall?
+
Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baku can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baku and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Baku to Gabala: Cable Car, Nohur Lake, Juma Mosque,Waterfall start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baku within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Baku?
+
On Outty we rank every Baku experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gobustan and Absheron tour, BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour (Group or Private), Shahdag, Quba, Candy Cane - Azerbaijan's Alpine Odyssey Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Baku?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Baku?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
