Community Trekking in Ethiopia: Route Study
Community walks and historic towns form two different parts of this idea. Wollo includes Mequat Mariam, Wajela and Aterow; the Tigray section names Erar, Seheta and Shimbrety. Town and mountain visits between them include Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains and Axum.
Places and route components
- Bahir Dar and the Wollo community walking area
- Mequat Mariam, Wajela and Aterow
- Lalibela and Gondar
- Simien Mountains and Axum
- Erar, Seheta and Shimbrety
- Gheralta
Schedule details still to resolve
This route is planned at around fifteen days, but its day-by-day schedule still needs confirmation. The journey from the Aterow walking area to the onward departure from Bahir Dar is not yet described. Ask the operator for a confirmed daily plan before comparing it with other routes.
Developing this journey
Decide how many consecutive walking days you want and ask how hosts, luggage and onward transport are arranged. A slower regional walk may be preferable to combining both community areas. Confirm the guesthouse sequence and welcome arrangements with the local hosts before treating this outline as a timetable.
