📍 Destination Overview
Lahij lies on the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus in northern Azerbaijan at about 1,500 metres, an ancient mountain town centuries old. Renowned for its generationally passed-down copperworking, its coppersmiths' bazaar sells authentic handicrafts; slate-roofed houses cascade down the canyon hillside.
