2 Days Itinerary: Simien Mountains Trekking
On your arrival in Gondar, you will be met by simienecotrek and
transferred to a hotel (if you prefer to stay in Gondar) or driven to
Debark, get a permit from the NP headquarter and everything will wait
for you in order. Debark (where the HQ is situated) is the access to
the park and Gondar is
situated 100 km from Debark and 136 km from Sankaber, the first camp site
in the park. As soon as you arrive in Sankaber, you will walk to Geech. En-
route going to Geech camp, you will encounter a troop of Gelada Baboon,
klipspringer and some type of birds. When you meet the baboons, you
need to make a short stop and watch at them since they are very
interesting animals to see.
Once you descend down the Jinbar Wenz (which feeds the waterfall) a
short ascent remains to Geech. the camp site offers great views of the
mountains and is characterized by giant Lobelia plants. It is situated
at an altitude of 3600m.
