Baku is one of the newest favourite short holidays from India – a short flight to a city where a walled old town meets the futuristic Flame Towers. Stroll the Caspian Sea boulevard, visit the fire temple of Ateshgah and the burning hillside of Yanar Dag, and see the mud volcanoes and rock art of Gobustan.
Add the green mountains of Gabala or the ski resort of Shahdag for snow from December to February. Most trips are 4 to 6 nights, the e-visa is quick and simple, and Indian food is easy to find in Baku. Every Trip Inventor package can be customised.

Azerbaijan tour FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Azerbaijan?
Yes, but it is easy. Indians apply online for an e-Visa on the official ASAN portal (evisa.gov.az). The standard e-Visa costs US$25 and is usually issued in about 3 working days, with an urgent option, and allows a stay of up to 30 days when you arrive by air.
How much does a Baku trip from India cost?
Our Azerbaijan packages start from ₹36,000 per person on twin sharing, including taxes and GST. Hotels, the excursions you choose and snow activities at Shahdag affect the price, and we can add flights from your city.
How many days are enough for Baku?
4 nights is enough for Baku and a Gobustan day trip. With 5 to 6 nights you can add Gabala or Shahdag in the mountains.
When can I see snow in Azerbaijan?
Shahdag and Gabala usually have snow from December to February, with skiing and snow activities. Baku itself rarely gets heavy snow.
Is Baku good for a short family holiday?
Yes. The short flight, easy e-visa, safe city and mix of old town, modern sights and mountains make Baku a great 4 to 6 night family trip.
