Kondalanchay River

Kondalanchay is a tributary of the Aras River that flows through the Khojaly, Khojavend, and Fuzuli regions. Travelers visit this area to observe the natural river landscape and explore the banks where archaeological remains from the Bronze Age have been discovered, providing physical evidence of ancient settlements in the region.

Getting There

Access from Shusha city centre is typically via local roads. Depending on the specific section of the riverbank being visited, the drive generally takes between 15 to 30 minutes. It is recommended to use a vehicle capable of handling rural terrain.

Duration of Visit

Allow 2 to 4 hours to walk along the riverbanks and observe the surrounding landscape and historical sites. The time required depends on whether you are focusing on a specific archaeological point or hiking along the water.
