Agh Gol National Park, Azerbaiyán
Located in southern Azerbaijan towards Iran’s border lies the Agh Gol National Park. Boasting an arid landscape in the Kur-Araz lowlands with a jade-colored oasis in the center attracts a surprisingly small number of tourists. The national park surrounding Azerbaijan’s second largest lake was established to protect the wetland ecosystems. More than 140 species of birds live inside, along with over 80 nesting to create an ornithologist’s paradise. Despite its appeal, visiting this national park in Azerbaijan can be challenging without hiring a private driver and guide.
