Gheralta Expedition Camp

9.0 Rating
USD 1600
/
Gheralta Expedition Camp is located in the far north of Ethiopia.
Guest accommodation is in  canvas tents.
Activities include cultural visits and hiking.
The most famous monastery is the dramatic Abuna Yemata Guh ...
... which is approached along a famously precarious route.
That's the main entrance to the church on the right.
The church is still very much in use ...
... and the walls tell familiar biblical stories.
There are loads of diverse churches and monasteries to explore.
Some take some serious getting to ...
... whilst others are much more easy to reach.
The villages are also very interesting and welcoming places to visit.
A good guide and very friendly locals make a two or three night trek here a really lovely option ...
... although it does have its ups and downs!
