Guided tours
With our profound knowledge of the birds of Azerbaijan, we proudly offer high-quality guided tours across the country. Over the past 15 years, we have consistently visited Azerbaijan to conduct fieldwork for our theses at various locations, tackling a wide range of scientific research questions. This has provided us with invaluable insights into species distribution and occurrence. Building on this wealth of experience, we have cultivated strong relationships with local communities and tour operators, enabling us to organize exceptional guided birding tours.
As specialists in birding across Azerbaijan, we take you to the country’s most remarkable spots, where you can observe some of the finest avian species. Our tours range from single-day and two-day trips to more extensive 10–14 day journeys, all of which can be tailored to your preferences.
