4-Days Trekking Simien Mountains Sankober – Geech – Chenek

Depart early in the morning from Gondar (7am at the latest), driving to Sankober.
We will stop along the way at Debark to handle park fees, etc. We will drop you
near to Buyit Ras for a 3-4 hour hike to Sankober, which passes close to the
escarpment edge. Nearing Sankober, you will have beautiful views on both sides
of the escarpment ridge and where you will likely see the endemic Gelada
baboons. In Sankober, you will be met with your supplies. Overnight camping in
Sankober.

From Sankober, depart into a valley, through which the Wazla (or Koba) River
runs. (This river is often dry). Coming out of the valley you will have views of
the Jinbar River waterfalls falling into the Geech Abyss. Continuing along, you
will cross the Jinbar River and ascend into the village of Geech. Total trekking
time: 4-5 hours

After an early breakfast, depart from Geech to the peak of Imet Gogo at 3926m.
Here you’ll have spectacular views over the lowlands – one of the highlights of
the trip. As you continue to Chenek, you will pass Korbete Metia, a solid rock
wall which opens up exposing beautiful views over the lowlands and the
escarpment. This is also a good place for spotting lammergeyers. Overnight
camping in Chenek. Total trekking time: 7 – 9 hours

From Chenek, continue east up a valley to Bwahit Peak, overlooking the camp
from where you just came. After the visit, return to camp and depart for Gondar
for overnight (hotel).
End of Tour.
