Mount Bwahit
ቧሂት
Ethiopia's third-highest peak at about 4,430 m. It can be done as a day round trip from Chenek, and the summit offers views of Ras Dashen.
Mount Bwahit lies southeast of Chenek Camp. It is a non-technical hiking peak, and the round trip from Chenek takes about 5 to 6 hours. The route passes through Bwahit Pass, where Walia ibex and signs of Ethiopian wolves are often seen. From the summit you can look across to the Ras Dashen and Kidus Yared peaks. Altitude sickness is common at this height, so it is recommended to acclimatize for a night at Geech or Chenek before climbing. The security situation in Amhara Region is volatile, so check the latest security advisories from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before traveling.
