Samur-Yalama National Park

The Samur-Yalama National Park extends across 11,772 hectares of varied landscapes, including coastal zones, forested areas, and arid steppes along the Caspian Sea.

The Azerbaijan government established this protected natural area in November 2012 to maintain the biological diversity and genetic resources of the Khachmaz region.

Local communities near the national park maintain traditional practices while contributing to the preservation of natural resources through sustainable land management.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails starting from Yalama village, with information centers providing guidance about the park's natural features and wildlife.

The park contains four distinct climate zones with rainfall variations from 350mm in coastal areas to 450mm inland, supporting diverse species like lynx and brown bears.
