The reserve extends across 225 square kilometers of semi-desert landscapes with diverse geographical features, including plains, hills, and low mountains between 400-650 meters elevation.

The protected area, founded in 1958 with 126 square kilometers, expanded to 225 square kilometers in 2003 to strengthen the conservation of natural resources.

The reserve maintains a collection of 60 tree and shrub species, including pistachio and juniper varieties that represent Azerbaijan's natural heritage.

Access to the reserve requires advance coordination with local authorities, as the area maintains strict protection measures to safeguard its ecological systems.

The reserve contains four notable mountains: Pirsei-Dag at 609 meters, Nulbon-Dag at 437 meters, Archan-Dag at 476 meters, and Olmes-Dag at 544 meters.
