Jidir Plain, Protected area in Shusha District, Azerbaijan
Located in southern Shusha, Jidir Plain features elevations ranging from 1400 to 1800 meters above sea level, overlooking the Dashalty Gorge and river.
During the Karabakh Khanate period, Ibrahim Khalil Khan organized semi-annual horse racing events at Jidir Plain, where riders demonstrated their equestrian abilities.
The plain functions as a central location for Novruz celebrations, traditional festivities marking Persian New Year, and hosts various regional ceremonial gatherings.
Visitors can access the Dashalty River through a trail leading to Girkh Pillakan, known as the forty steps, which descends into the gorge.
Baharbandi competitions at Jidir Plain required horsemen to collect their hats, rifles, and daggers while riding at full speed across the field.
