Only a small number of them are accessible for tourists, because many lakes are located far from tourist places or in protected areas.Garanohur is one of the beautiful lakes of Azerbaijan located at a high altitude in Talistan village of Ismayilli district. The lake is located 1540 meters above sea level. This beautiful lake is surrounded by breathtaking forests and mountains that make it an ideal destination for a hiking adventure.
