Mount Agou, located in the Plateaux Region of Togo, is the country's highest peak at 986 meters. Situated near the Ghanaian border, it offers views of both countries from its summit. The mountain’s slopes are dotted with villages and cultivated fields, primarily growing cocoa, coffee, and bananas. While there is a paved road leading to the top, many visitors opt for the more scenic footpaths that pass through streams and a waterfall, with hiking times ranging from a few minutes to several hours depending on the starting point. The area was once covered by dense rainforest, but deforestation for agriculture has reduced its biodiversity. Despite this, the mountain remains a focal point for local and biological research, particularly in the study of butterflies and ferns.

The highest peak in Togo. With an exceptional view. It rains frequently. At night on the way down, the landscape is dark, totally black but very magnificent 🤩 due to the street lights on the main Avétonou-Kpalimé road and the bulbs in the surrounding villages. Being on a mountain at night is very exciting seeing any lighting system it gives a pleasure and another image of the landscape in the dark.

Exceptional site to absolutely visit during a visit to Togo. The ascent and descent on foot is equivalent to 24km for a 6-hour hike. 🤩I was able to observe nature in its diversity. It was an unforgettable experience

I’ve hiked this mountain on Saturday 12/29/18. This is the highest mountain in Togo 🇹🇬986m, higher than its nearby neighbor Mount Afadja of Ghana (883m) 🇬🇭. I drove from Lomé( Capital) to the base of the mountain; there you can purchased the permit/entrance ticket allowing you to visit the summit pass the military guard unquestioned. Tourists pay 5,000f cfa while locals/ citizens pay 2000f cfa. Tickets can be purchased upon arrival at the entrance located on the south-side of the mountain. You do not need a guide! The fire road/ main road takes you all the way to the summit. You can drive or hike all the way to the summit just by following this road. I repeat, you do not need a guide for this hike( save your money). Pretty straight forward hike. I parked my car in the Kebo-Dalave village then hiked from there; clocking in at 10km to the summit (20km/ 12mi Round trip). Bring at least 3L of water, snacks, hat and start early to avoid the mid-day heat. Very fun hike, nice view of the valley on clear days. the Village folks are very friendly so are the military guards at the top.
