THE JOURNEY **3 days**  ROUTE **Gondar → Sankaber → Geech → Gondar** [Plan this trip](https://testofethiopiarestaurant.com.au/ethiopia-tours/3-days-simien-mountains-trekking#tour-quote)

A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR JOURNEY

## The experience.

The Simien Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of steep cliffs, deep valleys and highland grassland. Their scale becomes clearer as you walk: a ridge opens into a gorge, and a quiet stretch of trail may bring a wildlife encounter. This itinerary gives you two nights in the mountains, with your pace and camp arrangements agreed before departure.

-   Sankaber camp and escarpment scenery
-   The trail towards Jinbar waterfall
-   Geech highland camp
-   A chance to observe geladas in their habitat

YOUR ROUTE, ONE DAY AT A TIME

## The itinerary.

A reference route to help you plan. Our partner confirms the schedule and local access for your dates.

1.  DAY  
    **01** 
    
    ### Gondar to the mountains
    
    Leave Gondar for Debark to complete park arrangements and meet the trekking team. Continue towards Sankaber, with an introductory walk if arrival time allows. Use this first day to settle into the walking pace and camp routine.
    
    OVERNIGHT Sankaber camp
    
2.  DAY  
    **02** 
    
    ### Walk from Sankaber towards Geech
    
    Follow the route towards Jinbar waterfall and Geech. This is the main walking day, commonly planned at around five to seven hours. Expect changing terrain and pauses for views; your guide will adapt the pace to the group.
    
    OVERNIGHT Geech camp, approximately 3,600 metres
    
3.  DAY  
    **03** 
    
    ### Return to Gondar

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

## A few things to know.

-   Ask for an itemised list of tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, camp meals and support staff so you know exactly what to bring.
-   The main day involves several hours on foot and a high-altitude camp. Tell the partner about your walking experience and preferred pace.
-   Wildlife sightings are opportunities, not guarantees. Keep a respectful distance and let the guide lead encounters.

Before choosing dates, check [current Ethiopia travel advice and regional restrictions](https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/ethiopia) . Routes and local access must be confirmed for your trip.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

## Good to know.

**Is three days enough to climb Ras Dashen?**

This itinerary follows the Sankaber–Geech area and does not include a Ras Dashen summit. Ask about a longer trek if reaching the summit is your goal.

**How much walking is involved?**

Allow roughly five to seven hours for the main day towards Geech. The first and last day depend on road access, your chosen starting point and the final route.

**Does the price include all camping equipment?**

That needs confirmation. Request an itemised partner quote covering tents, bedding, meals, water and the trekking team before booking.
