አምባራስ
An Amhara highland farming village preserved inside the park, where you can see traditional round huts, terraced fields, and herding life.
Ambaras is an Amhara village preserved inside Simien Mountains National Park. It lies east of Sankaber, beside the road to Geech and Chenek. The village is made up of traditional round huts with stone walls, surrounded by barley terraces and grazing pastures. Hikers often pause here briefly to learn about highland farming life, and gelada baboons can sometimes be spotted nearby. Enter the village accompanied by a scout or guide, and ask for villagers' permission before photographing them.
