The best time to visit Naxcivan is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.
During spring, you'll find comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This period is ideal for outdoor activities like visiting the Alinja Castle, exploring the historic sites around Ordubad, or enjoying the natural beauty of the Batabat Lake. The landscape is lush and green, making it a great time for scenic drives and photography.
Autumn also offers excellent weather, with temperatures similar to spring, usually between 12°C and 22°C. The cooler, dry air is superb for hiking in the mountainous regions or visiting the Duzdagh Salt Caves. The harvest season also means you might encounter local festivals and enjoy fresh produce.
While summer (July and August) can be very hot, often exceeding 35°C, it's still a great option for those who don't mind the heat. This period is less crowded, and you can still enjoy indoor attractions or plan activities for early mornings and late evenings.
