Tullu Dimtu
Tulluu Diimtuu
At about 4,377 meters, the second-highest peak in Ethiopia. A dirt road nearly reaches the summit, with views over the entire Sanetti Plateau.
Tullu Dimtu lies on the southern edge of the Sanetti Plateau. It is the highest point of the Bale Mountains and, after Ras Dashen, Ethiopia’s second-highest peak. A dirt track branching from the highland road can take you by car to the communications facilities near the summit, and it is only a few minutes’ walk from there to the top. On clear days you can see highland lakes and, to the south, the escarpments of the Harenna Forest. The summit is windy and cold, altitude sickness is quite common, and you should not linger. Going in the morning is recommended to avoid the fog that tends to roll in after midday.
