Jinbar Waterfall
ጅንባር ፏፏቴ
The Jinbar River plunges from a cliff near Sankaber, dropping about 500 m into a deep gorge.
Jinbar Waterfall lies between Sankaber and Geech Camp, where the river drops hundreds of meters from the edge of the highlands into a gorge. It is the most spectacular waterfall in the Simien Mountains. On the second day of the trek, the cliff path toward Geech passes a viewpoint on the opposite bank, and the falls can also be visited on a short round trip from Sankaber. The water is at its fullest just after the rainy season, and by late in the dry season only a thin stream remains. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so take care when taking photographs. The security situation in Amhara Region is volatile, so check the latest security advisories from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before traveling.
