Lachin District, Administrative district in western Azerbaijan
Lachin District is an administrative area in western Azerbaijan that spans mountainous terrain with several small settlements. These communities are linked by mountain roads winding through the landscape.
The district was established in 1930 and experienced major changes over the following decades. Following the 2020 conflict in the region, it returned to Azerbaijani control.
The district contains archaeological sites including cave temples from the 5th century and mausoleums dating from the 14th to 19th centuries.
Visiting requires preparation for rough mountain conditions and uneven roads. Travelers should expect limited services and infrastructure in the settlements.
The Lachin corridor, controlled by Russian peacekeeping forces, serves as a strategic passage connecting different territories within the region.
