Mount Bazardüzü (, ; ; , ) is a mountain peak in the Greater Caucasus range on the border between Azerbaijan and Russia (Dagestan). At above sea level, it is the highest peak in both Azerbaijan and Dagestan, and is located in the Qusar region. The southernmost point of Dagestan (and therefore Russia) is located about seven kilometers southwest of the peak. Translated from Azerbaijani, Bazardüzü means âÂÂmarket squareâÂÂ, more precisely as a specific landmark - âÂÂturn to the market, bazaarâÂÂ. In the Middle Ages in the Shahnabad Valley, located east of this peak, annual large multinational fairs were held.
G. P. Baker and G. Yeld were the first men climbing the Mount in 1890 when the first ascent was recorded. Summer is considered the most appropriate period to climb the peak. There are two approaches to the Mount: one from the northeast and another from the southwest. In the northeast climbs can begin from the villages of Khinalug (Quba District) and Laza (Qusar District). The southwest approach starts from two villages in the center of the Qabala District: Laza (the same name as the village in Qusar) and QÃÂmÃÂrvan. The flood plain of the YataqdÃÂrÃÂ river () is the starting point of the summit at 2800 m.
