Qakh District

Qakh District is an administrative region in northern Azerbaijan that covers varied terrain with forests, agricultural areas, and mountain valleys. The district encompasses many villages with Qakh town serving as its administrative hub.

The territory developed from ancient settlements and was formally organized as a district in 1930. The area once belonged to significant historical kingdoms that shaped the regional landscape.

The area is home to people from different ethnic groups who speak their own languages and follow local customs. This cultural diversity shapes daily life and community relations throughout the region.

The region is connected by regional roads linking its many settlements and providing access throughout the area. Visitors should expect a rural setting where traveling between villages takes time due to the dispersed layout.

The area protects a natural reserve where rainfall patterns shift dramatically from dry lowlands to wet highlands. This variation creates distinct ecosystems within a relatively small area.
