Honestly I'm not 100% I went to the right place although I think I did. Pictures just look different than the previous reviews which could come down to them being at the wrong place or it just looking so various at different seasons. For the second I can't say much and the first is tricky. There are MANY mud cones around Azerbaijan and Baku alone. You tend to visit this by coming to the rock art with mud cones in the first place and there are rock arts at the north of the city next to the tar lakes - well I think you understand that these mud cones aren't special enough on its own. I think it's cool to visit one either way. Google map didn't have ANY information on this place so I just guessed it. Turns out OpenStreetMap has the place in a funny way and it's quite accurate. Surely the parking lot is just a large area of gravel rocks that are used by the trucks to get refilled but the parks are maintained, the gazebo is open. You cannot officially walk up to the volvano (oh sorry...mud cone) but obviously you just do it anyway. I confirmed beforehand with a trucker filling his car who unfortunately guessed I'm American but yes, you are at a mud cone and you need to walk over the hill to see it. Before you get here, by the way, the road takes you through lots of gas pumps, a gate that might be locked after hours and a lot of work camps. Nobody saw me or waved me away so I assumed I was ok to be here.

At the top you can see something that is closed to a mud cone than the rest of the area. It's not muddy in July, I guess, and I didn't walk directly into it to fall in but it all left me wondering if this is the right place. I suppose yes and I can tick this off, make the entire journey through the camp area worth it.

The old question whether this should be inscribed is a big no. Even if this WAS the wrong place. There are so many better sites and I think a serial nomination of mud cones in generals might be more useful.
