Azerbaijan offers one of the most exciting birding routes in the Authentic East, combining Caucasus mountain habitats, semi-desert, wetlands and the isolated Nakhchivan region. The journey is built for birders looking for regional specialities, dramatic landscapes and a compact route with local escorts and Branta field planning.

Winter Azerbaijan adds a different seasonal angle to the Caucasus, with waterbirds, raptors and open-country birding along the Caspian and inland routes. This static page keeps the original programme direction while presenting it in the new Branta tour-detail format.

This short break focuses on displaying Caucasian Snowcock in its mountain environment, along with other Caucasus specialities. The old Branta programme presents June as the best period for this wary high-altitude species.
