5 Days Baku and Gabala Tour Package from Pakistan
Tour Overview
Our 5 days Baku tour package from Pakistan is a 4-night trip to Baku with a day in the Gabala mountains. The return flight from Lahore, the Azerbaijan e-visa, a 3 star hotel with breakfast, airport transfers, transport and a guide are included.
The direct flight from Lahore to Baku takes about four hours, and Baku is one hour behind Pakistan, so the first evening is free for the Boulevard by the Caspian Sea and the Flame Towers lit up. Day two is the walled Old City, Highland Park and the Heydar Aliyev Center, and day three the fire sites of the Absheron peninsula, Ateshgah and Yanar Dag.
On day four we drive to Gabala through Shamakhi for the Tufandag cable car and Nohur Lake, and come back to Baku for the night. All four nights are in the same hotel in Baku, so you unpack once.
Rooms are shared by 2 to 3 people. The tour suits friends, students and anyone on their first trip abroad who wants the flight, the visa and the plan in one price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the 5 days Baku tour cost?
PKR 265,000 per person from Lahore, in a room shared by 2 to 3 people. The price covers the return flight, the Azerbaijan e-visa, 4 nights in a 3 star hotel with breakfast, airport transfers, transport, the Gabala day trip and a guide.
Is the Azerbaijan e-visa included?
Yes. We apply for the ASAN e-visa for you; send a clear scan of your passport photo page, valid for at least 6 months. It is a single-entry visa for up to 30 days and is usually issued in about three working days. There is no visa on arrival for Pakistanis.
Which city does the flight leave from?
The price is for a direct flight from Lahore to Baku, about four hours, on AZAL, PIA or Airblue. Departure from Islamabad or Karachi costs about PKR 20,000 more per person; when there is no direct flight that week we book a connection through the Gulf. On request, WhatsApp us for the next date.
How much spending money should I take?
Lunch and dinner are not included, so budget about 15 to 30 manat a day for food, plus about 20 to 25 manat for each cable car. Take US dollars and change them in Baku; Pakistani rupees are not exchanged there. One manat is about PKR 163.
Is the Gabala day long?
Yes, it is the one long day of the trip: about three and a half hours each way by road, with a stop in Shamakhi on the way. If you would rather sleep in the mountains, the 7-day family tour spends nights in Shahdag and Gabala.
