Seven Beauties Waterfall

The Seven Beauties Waterfall, or Yeddi Gözəl in Azerbaijani, is a peaceful and scenic natural site located near Vandam village in the Gabala region. The waterfall is made up of seven separate streams flowing from the forested slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Its name comes not only from the number of cascades but also from the famous 12th-century poem Seven Beauties by Nizami Ganjavi, reflecting the cultural background of the area. During a day trip in Azerbaijan, this stop gives visitors a chance to experience quiet nature. While the first two cascades are easily accessible, reaching the remaining five requires a walk up wooden stairs built into the hillside. The climb is moderately challenging but manageable for most people and highly rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the untouched forest and the serene ambiance created by the cascading waters .
