My next adventure: Chișinău (Moldova) – September 2025

Day 4 (Azerbaijan) – Gobustan National Park and Mud Volcanoes

The original plan for today was to simply visit Yanar Dag, however, when booking accessible transportation with hotel, they made us aware that it was possible to hire a London cab for the entire day for an additional cost.

One took this offer as it was therefore possible to visit 2 other sites around the Baku area, the first one being Gobustan National Park. One of the notable points of interest within said park is it’s mud volcanoes. As with many geographical phenomenon’s, the site has been transformed into a tourist attraction complete with a gift shop and restaurant. Local disabled individuals can enter for FREE but foreigners must pay. However, the recent renovation means the majority of the site is now wheelchair accessible…

This accessibility extends to the actual mud volcanoes thanks to a circular path leading down from the visitor centre…

In addition, the restaurant (also wheelchair accessible) contains breathtaking views of the National Park…
