Offroad in Land of Fires - keep your adrenaline high

16 July 2013 [13:47] - TODAY.AZ
Pristine nature, diverse topography and seemingly infinite areas of uninhabited land make Azerbaijan one of the most exciting destinations for offroading. Leaving behind the city jungle and entering into a completely different world of vast, roadless terrain will be a challenging experience both for beginners and off-road savvy drivers.

The sport is among the most popular in the country, and if you’ve ever experienced the traffic in Baku, you will quickly understand why.

Fans of offroading in Azerbaijan are united by several clubs, of which the largest is Club 4×4. Competitions organized by them every year always gather hundreds of dauntless motorists driven by desire to challenge themselves in a difficult mountainous terrain carved by rivers or covered in dense forest. The possibility of getting where no one has set foot for centuries regularly attracts adventurers from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Iran and many other countries.

The SUVs used off-road are equipped with reliable systems of radio navigation, and are carefully checked before every ride to ensure that nothing will spoil the experience. For the time being, the highest point conquered by Azerbaijani offroaders is situated 2,440m above sea level but they still haven’t said the last word. Azerbaijani offroading fans claim that if there is a mountain path with a width of at least 1.5m they will definitely pass it.
