Start your adventure early with a drive from Mekelle to the dramatic Gheralta Mountains, where the renowned Abune Yemata Guh church awaits. After reaching the base of the mountains, begin a challenging but rewarding hike that includes a rock climb and narrow cliffside paths. At the summit, discover the incredible 5th-century rock-hewn church carved into a vertical cliff face. Inside, you’ll be awestruck by the vivid biblical frescoes, ancient religious manuscripts, and the spiritual ambiance of this sacred site. Enjoy a picnic lunch with sweeping mountain views before descending and returning to Mekelle. This tour combines physical adventure with profound cultural and religious significance.
