Limalimo Pass & Adi Arkay Escarpment Road
ሊማሊሞ
A switchback mountain road north of Debark that drops more than a kilometer along the Simien escarpment, a classic stretch for views of the cliffs.
Limalimo Pass lies north of Debark. The road to Adi Arkay drops more than a kilometer here along the northwest cliffs of the Simien Mountains in a series of continuous switchbacks, and it is often called one of the most spectacular roads in Ethiopia. Near the pass, the Limalimo Lodge and roadside viewpoints overlook layers of cliffs and valley villages below, and the view is most beautiful at sunset. It can be visited on the way into or out of the park, about 20 minutes' drive from Debark. The mountain road has sharp bends, so it is best to charter a car and hire a local driver.
