Hazindak Plateau
Hazindak Yaylası
A small highland village near the tree line above Ayder, with wooden houses dotted across the hillside. It offers walks with views down the Ayder valley.
Hazindak Plateau lies at about 1,900 meters on a hillside southwest of Ayder. Herders live here in summer, and the traditional wooden houses are well preserved. It takes about 2 hours on foot from Ayder by mountain road, or you can take a jeep up. It is one of the easiest half-day hikes to arrange around Ayder. Continuing upward leads to Samistal Plateau.
