Mount Ayelu
Mount Ayelu is one of the most important in Ethiopia and is located in the Afar territory, in the region of Gewane. This peak is isolated from people as it spectacularly rises from the plain reaching an altitude of 2,145 meters. It is a volcanic peak, located east of Gewane. Being isolated and the only major mountain in this area has always been very important to the surrounding population and has for many years been a place of pilgrimage. According to tradition, those who come to this peak will enjoy good health and success in war. It is complicated to climb this peak as temperatures are high during the whole of the year.
We wanted to climb the peak but could not do so due to this very reason. Anyway, to simply admire this mountain without climbing it, is also a great privilege. Around the mountain the landscape consisting of shrubs and areas filled with all kinds of insects, that leave you amazed by their sheer size, is quite beautiful. This mountain is located in one of the most important nature reserves in Ethiopia, namely Yangudi Rassa National Park. This is a park that extends over more than 4,000 square kilometers, which was created in 1977 with the aim of protecting one of the most beautiful animals in the country, the African wild ass. The park has several mountains and breathtaking green areas.
