00:05Nothing beats the fresh taste of fruit picked straight from the branch.
00:09It's like a personalized gift from nature right to you.
00:12That's why this weekend I'm here in Lankaren, which is often called Azerbaijan's fruit basket.
00:16I'm here to try some of the region's tasty local fruit and get up close and personal with its wild, untouched nature.
00:22And a little rain isn't going to stop me.
00:30Sandwiched between the Cassian Sea and the lush Talish mountains, Lankaren benefits from a unique subtropical microclimate.
00:40Conditions are perfect for growing an astounding variety of fruits and grains, which I get to taste at Citrus Valley Plantation, a family farm run by Raftera Shukurova.
00:50Citrus Valley Təsərrüfatı 17-də ki fəaliyyət göstərir. Gələn turistlərin sayı çoxdur, insanların maraqı çoxdur. Onlar kənd təsərrüfatı fəaliyyəti ilə yaxından tanış olmaq, bizim ağızlı meyvələri necə yetişdirdiyin görmək, özəlləri ilə meyvə dərmək, bu aktivitələri sunamaq istəyirlər burada.
01:10Juicy mandarins, tangy lemons, fragrant fejola, the best of the region is concentrated here. And visitors can harvest them all.
01:17So, I'm starting with the kiwi trees, because those are the ripest right now.
01:23Sadly, I can't fit all these fresh fruits in my suitcase, but Raftera is going to show me how to make a unique souvenir I can take home.
01:39The process is simple, but requires time and care.
01:44From peeling and cutting the fruit to stewing them over the fire.
01:48I'm not as good at this as you are.
01:59Proportions are easy to remember.
02:02It's equal parts fruit and sugar with a splash of water.
02:05But some insider tips can elevate your jam, like cooking it over a wood fire to give it some extra flavor.
02:12It's tradition to eat fruit preserves with Lengkeren black tea brewed in a beautiful samovar.
02:19Mmm.
02:20It's delicious.
02:21I now have a one-of-a-kind Lengkeren souvenir to take home with me.
02:36But I can't leave without exploring the region's famous forests.
02:40My next stop is going to be a wild one.
02:41Melengkeren and Astara districts are home to ancient forests, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hirkan National Park.
02:50Over generations, people have learned to coexist with this untamed nature, founding villages that to this day remain accessible only by foot or off-road vehicle.
02:59I'm joining a guide for an overland trip to one of them, called Sim Village.
03:03I feel a bit like Indiana Jones in this truck.
03:06We're about to ford a river.
03:13Sim Village was located on the ancient Silk Road.
03:16Today's residents mainly work growing vegetables, raising cattle, beekeeping, and welcoming tourists.
03:33Every season in Sim brings its own unique beauty.
03:40It's enchanting even in the rain.
03:42The leaves on the trees glisten and the rivers roar.
03:45Some of the sites are tucked deep into the forest,
04:01while others, like Bali Gaia or Honey Rock, are visible from nearly everywhere.
04:08To access the sites, there are trails for all levels, from beginners to seasoned hikers.
04:14We chose the short hike to Sheerhal Waterfall for the refreshing, misty air.
04:22The energy feels ancient here, with a simplicity that quiets the mind.
04:27I'm ending my trip at one of the guest houses in town,
04:30where I've been offered more freshly brewed tea and marmalade,
04:34that Azerbaijani hospitality.
04:39I'm once again enjoying local fruit preserves,
04:42underneath this beautiful walnut tree,
04:44with a gorgeous view of ancient forests all around me.
