The hike from Lalibela to Asheton Maryam is very rewarding (If you needed one) to explore the stunning mountain scenery surrounding Lalibela. It is one of my favourite Eco friendly Trekking routes over the Ethiopian highlands which I invite everyone to join me, It would took us about 3 - 4 hours one way, walking at a reasonable pace and it is a great opportunity to discover the routine life of the Local community. No matter how fast or slower hikers you would be because the hike would be done with your own pace. Within 15 minutes walk, you will find yourself leaving the town, walking with the local community, breathing the fresh air, wondering the landscape, Flora and Fauna of Mt. Asheton. This hike is unique because of the panoramic views of the the region you would definitely enjoy and my professional guiding that would allow you to have the true picture of the countryside of Ethiopia. The church was King Lalibela's first project and has many treasures to be discovered!
•At 8:30 am in the morning we will start the Trekking and you will find yourself leaving Lalibela town, wondering the scenery of Ethiopian highlands and enjoying the panoramic view of the region. •After walking for about 15 minutes following a narrow path through an ingenious plant and trees. •Arrive another view point to get some rest •Continuing the walk we finally would arrive at Asheton Maryam church passing through a small village of Asheton and a big curved tunnel. •Carved into a cliff face, It was founded by King Lalibela, who also built the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CHURCHES OF LALIBELA. •The small and unadorned church harbours a few impressive hand cross of King Lalibela, Kind Nakutolab, illuminated manuscripts & othe treasures, though arguably the most remarkable aspect of a visit to Asheton Maryam Monastery church is its magnificent setting and the stunning views as you ascend. • Walk back to Lalibela All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
