step back in time
Exclusively located to seek the origins of early Christianity, this region of Ethiopia offers trails, adrenaline hikes and history for all levels of ability and interest. Historical records indicate Ethiopia to be one of the first nations to adopt Christianity.
By visiting the Gheralta Mountains you will have the wondrous privilege to choose from over 100 churches to visit, ranging from monolithic ones (located in the rock) to rock-hewn churches (carved out completely from the rock) – some of them dating back to the 5th century and almost all accessible from our lodge.
We are happy to assist you in any needed arrangements or answer questions prior to your stay with us.
