This historical five-day programme combined cycling, walking and a Timkat occasion around Ingofe, Abo Church and Zena Markos.
The sequence as it ran in the past programme, kept for reference. It is not a current departure.
Day 1
The historical journey begins in Addis Ababa and continues to its first camp, with stargazing as an interest. The camp location and any organised astronomy activity would need to be confirmed for a newly arranged visit.
Addis Ababa
Day 2
The second historical day offers cycling levels around St Michael's Church at Ingofe, with walking alternatives. Distances, support and suitable routes would need a new assessment for any contemporary programme.
Ingofe
Day 3
The sequence moves to a second camp near Abo Church. The original programme offered riding and walking alternatives; neither establishes a current trail, campsite or available support service.
Abo Church
Day 4
This historical stage combined the monastery route with an evening Timkat procession. Any similar future programme would require confirmed religious dates, permission to attend and an appropriate cycling plan.
Abo Church → Enewari → Zena Markos → Mariam Segnet → Abo Church
Day 5
The final day centred on the past Timkat celebration before returning to Addis Ababa. This archived occasion has ended; no current festival departure is offered.
Abo Church → Addis Ababa
