Khinaliq

Khinaliq

Azerbaijan is certainly not a popular tourist destination. This small Caucasian country, a former Soviet republic, is rarely mentioned by the media, and even when this happens, it is often about the harsh dictatorship. Most people will have trouble answering the question, what is Azerbaijan known for?
That being said. However, some amazing hidden gems in this country make visiting Azerbaijan absolutely worth it. Among those places to see in Azerbaijan, the one that shines the brightest is undoubtedly the ancestral village of Xinaliq, one of the top Azerbaijan destinations.

Khinaliq Names 

Xinaliq (also spelled Khinalug, Khinalugh, or Khinalig) is a remote and picturesque village situated in the northeast of the country, on a bare and rough mountaintop, surrounded by grassland and the high peaks of the Greater Caucasus. With an altitude of 2,350 m, Khinalug is the highest settlement in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the whole world; its origins indeed date back as far as 5,000 years ago.
The houses of Xinaliq are almost entirely made out of stone. The dry walls built with flint from the nearby stream are topped by flat roofs, which serve as terraces for the houses above. Needless to say, this is one of the most beautiful places in Azerbaijan.
For many years, until very recently, the people of Xinaliq had to survive only on what this bleak land provided them: stones for building, animals for food and clothing, and manure for heating.
Indeed many walls made out of compressed and dried dung bricks are scattered around the village, often used as fences. This dung is used as fuel for the stoves to keep the dwellers warm during the harsh and long winters (but don’t worry, they don’t stink), and an ecological and economical way to light a fire in a place where even wood is very scarce.
Fire. This primary element has indeed a high significance for the people here. Although all of them affirm to be Muslim nowadays, the roots of Kinalugh dig deep into the origins of the Zoroastrian cult, a monotheistic pre-Islamic religion of ancient Persia founded by Zoroaster in the 6th century BC, which consider fire as the purificatory element.
This is indeed one of the most interesting things about Khinalug, more about this is below.
The people of Xinaliq belong to one of the many ancestral Albanian tribes, and ethnic groups of the ancient Caucasus, each of whom speaks its own unique language.
The uniqueness of this village has been preserved by its location and by the fact that there was no road at all to get here until 2006. Nowadays, a winding and spectacular mountain road (one of Xinaliq attractions itself) have been paved from the nearby town of Quba. This road is one of the greatest Azerbaijan places of interest, providing a huge boost to Azerbaijan tourism.
Reaching Quba from Baku is easy; just take one of the many buses (about 1 per hour) from Baku’s main bus station; the trip takes around 2 hours.
Once in Quba, there is no public transportation to Xinaliq, and the only option is to join a tour or agree on a price with one of the many private drivers that will basically assault you once out of the Quba bus station.
The distance from Quba to Xinaliq is about 50 km, but the road is very steep and demanding, and it takes about 2 more hours to get there (even more if the driver decides to stop for lunch, which he most certainly will do unless you complain hard). Arrange also a pickup time to get back down to Quba, or you’ll be likely forced to hitchhike.
Despite being a tiny town inhabited only by about 2,000 souls, there are quite a few things to do in Xinaliq. First of all, and pretty obvious, is exploring all the village roads, walking around the meanders of this small village which nevertheless looks like a maze.
There are very few tourists in Xinaliq, which ironically makes it one of the best tourist places in Azerbaijan, so you’ll be able to see the local dwellers busy with their everyday chores, making wool, cooking, bringing water up from the river, and all the traditional activities that are basically unchanged since millennia, making you feel like you traveled in time and not just in space.
If you are lucky, you might stumble upon one of the frequent celebrations featuring music and shashlik.
