Gheralta Mountains

The Gheralta Mountains are a chain of flat-topped peaks in the Tigray Region, renowned for their breathtaking views and high concentration of rock-hewn churches. Unlike the churches of Lalibela, which are carved down into the ground, many Gheralta churches are built into caves and cliffs, accessible only by steep climbs. This makes visiting them a spiritual and physical adventure, rewarding trekkers with ancient art and unparalleled panoramic views.
