Olosunta Hill

Òkè Olósùntà

A massive granite standalone hill beside the town of Ikere-Ekiti, regarded locally as a sacred mountain, with views over the Ekiti hills.

Òkè Olósùntà is an isolated granite boulder hill on the edge of Ikere town in Ekiti State. Together with the neighboring Oroni hill, it is considered the town's guardian mountain, and the Olosunta festival is held here each year. Parts of the hill are sacred sites, so before climbing or taking photos, ask locals and guides and respect the taboos. It is about 25 km from Akure and can be visited on the way to Ikogosi. Tourist facilities are limited.
