The hike is very hard as it's quite steep but definitely worth as the view from the top is beautiful. Top is a great place to have a picnic if the weather is nice. I'd recommend wearing good hiking shoes as the going down is tricky. You'll have to pay pay a small fee at the entrance and get a guide to go to the top. My guide was very nice and patient when I stopped to breath or take picture. I'm envious of how easy the climb was for him 😅 Total hike is 2h - 2h30. The only downside is the littering...

Been here twice and both have been amazing experiences. Climbing to the top is always not easy but the excitement of getting there is unmatched. Would love to go there again surely.

Unlike mount Obourtabri in koforidua where it not so tiresome to climb, this mount is pretty steep to climb. Don't climb if it rained a day before, it's too dangerous. Climbing and descending is not so easy but to challenging. I'd tick this off my bucket list. The climb is not for the swift or faint of heart. PS. Carry enough water lols. Chale. Cheers
