The Murovdag (or Murovdagh, Azerbaijani: Murovdağ) is the highest mountain range in Lesser Caucasus (peack point - Gamish Mountain, 3,724 metres (12,218 ft), length ca. 70 km). It is made up mainly of Jurassic, Cretaceous and Paleogene rocks.^[1]

The Murovdag ridge extends north off Hinaldag elevation through Gamish elevation. The north-eastern slope features a group of scenic lakes, including Göygöl near the northern slope. The Garabagh plateau extends from the south of Murovdag. Fir and spruce forests are spread as far south-east as the Murovdag. The summer mountain pastures of Murovdag were traditionally used by Azerbaijani herders.
