🚶 How to get there
Khanag waterfall is located near the village of Khanag, 55 kilometers from Derbent and 150 from Makhachkala (waterfall on the map). You can get here by car, a good paved road leads to the waterfall itself. The waterfall parking area is located below the main road, there is an exit leading to it. The cost of parking is 100 rubles, but if you only want to see the waterfall and do not plan to stay here for a long time, you can park the car upstairs on the side of the road and walk to the waterfall 5 minutes on foot. You can also get here by commuter buses that depart from the southern bus station of Derbent, but unfortunately there is no timetable at our disposal.
