| Climate: Seasons - The climate in Azerbaijan fluctuates
between extremes in the mountainous regions of the country, while maintaining an even keel
along the coast. Temperatures during mid-April to October tend to hover in the 70°s and
80°s F (20°s and 30°s C). During the winter months of December through March it gets
quite cold.......Regions - Azerbaijan's western border with Armenia is punctuated by the
Lesser Caucasus. This section of the country is known for its mountains and for the
extremely cold weather that descends upon them during the winter months. The highest of
Azerbaijan's peaks is the summit of Mount Bazardyuzyu, at a height of 4,465 meters. The
Sheki Zakataly region lies just south of the mountains where the temperature increases
along with the humidity during the summer months, probably due to the many rivers that
flow through it. The Aras River flows along the southern border of Azerbaijan and flows
into the Kura River, which runs from the north of the country to the south, eventually
emptying into the Caspian Sea. The coast is significantly warmer then the northern
mountainous portion of Azerbaijan. |

except citizens of Bulgaria, Russia, Hungary, Romania, and Vietnam. The passport must be
valid for at least one month beyond the date of exit. Those holding Georgian visas are
granted transit privileges through Azerbaijan for up to 5 days. Travelers with specific
transit visas are permitted a maximum of 72 hours in the country, as long as they possess

For all travelers, a return ticket is required. You should carry at least a photocopy of
your passport and have it with you whenever you are on the street. Local people are
