Discover the Historic Heart of Azerbaijan with Teravaze
If you’re drawn to places where architecture, culture, and history converge in rich colour and depth, this tour is your invitation.
Journey from Baku into the verdant foothills of the Greater Caucasus to Sheki — once the capital of the Sheki Khanate and a cultural hub of the region. Here ruins, palaces, and embroidered traditions meet mountain air and calm landscapes.
Travel with us into a city that embodies centuries of trade, craft, faith and heritage, and witness how Sheki’s story remains alive in its stone walls and artisan workshops.
What You’ll Experience
Palace of the Sheki Khans
Explore the flamboyantly decorated 18th-century palace — with shebeke (stained-glass wood lattice windows), frescoes and a history that reflects the wealth of a khanate that once ruled here.
Historic Caravanserais & Silk Road Echoes
Walk among the old inns where merchants once rested, caravans traded silks, and the layering of cultures shaped the region’s trade identity.
Village of Kish & Udi Heritage
Visit the village of Kish which holds the Armenian-Albanian church and heritage of the Udi people. This is a living link to a regional past that predates modern borders.
Mountain Drive & Forested Valleys
Relax on a scenic drive through Sheki’s countryside — forested slopes, quiet rivers, traditional villages and views of the Caucasus that ground you in place and time.

A Note from Our Founder
“Sheki’s palaces and temples are more than monuments — they are living memories of a land that knew trade, craft and culture long before modern borders. Visiting here changes how you see time, place and what you carry with you.”
