While setting off from Nakhchivan and crossing the border, you step onto Turkish soil after a short passage. You greet the open horizon of the Iğdır plain and the majesty of Mount Ararat powerfully in the very first minutes of the journey.
We are watching the changing scenery of cotton fields, apricot orchards, and wide steppe landscapes along the road. Light filtering in through a window creates natural scenes for photography along the way.
While we are arriving in the city center, the sounds of a lively market and warm greetings join our route. We take a short break, taste fresh tandır bread, lavaş, and local cheeses, and renew our energy.
Here, we are going into the cool underground corridors of the Tuzluca Salt Caves. Crystal-textured walls and wide galleries refresh your breath, keeping curiosity alive.
A respectful pause, following the traces of memory at the Iğdır Genocide Memorial and Museum. Quiet spaces, adding depth to thoughtfulness in exhibitions, gently settle as we step outside and look toward the horizon.
On the way back, we turn toward Nakhchivan, accompanying the Aras wind. The flavors, views, and stories of the day are taking their place in your mind; this route is giving you a close connection with both nature and history in a short time.
