Gobustan mud volcanoes are a real miracle of nature!
The place is really unusual and worth visiting, especially if you are heading to the Gobustan National Museum.
The way to the volcanoes lies along a 9 km dirt road.
The locals offered their taxi services for 15-30 manats from the national museum of Gobustan, but we decided to try to get there for free on our own, and we did not lose.
The main thing is that the road is dry!
In an old rented Hyundai, we managed to get from the asphalt exit to the volcanoes in 30 minutes.
If you drive from the museum, there will be large pits at the very beginning, but it will not be difficult to go around them. Further on, the road is better, and the most difficult part is climbing the slope directly to the plateau itself. But you can skip this section and climb on foot.
We were able to get to this location already at night, only after 7 pm.
Methane gas coming out of one of the volcanoes was set on fire before us, which gave the place a mystique :)
It was very fascinating to listen to the bubbling of volcanoes in silence.
Probably, the view is even more beautiful at sunrise or sunset ✨
There is something to come and be surprised at here! 🤩

An infernal place. Lifeless spaces, abundantly watered with gray erupting mud, spread between volcanoes. A little further away is the largest volcano with a 1.5m diameter crater and a bubbling lake at the foot. Surprisingly, the gas does not smell, but burns. We were driving on the third day after a heavy downpour, I would be sorry to ruin my car on this bumpy road, but the Indians somehow managed to get there in rented Zhiguli. In our opinion, this is the coolest attraction from this trip to Baku.

We stopped by the Gobustan Museum on the way. I wouldn't have gone separately. It takes a long time to drive with a transfer to Zhiguli, then along the primer for 15 minutes without air conditioning and in the dust
