The Twin Mountains
Length of hike: Between 45 minutes to 1-hour walking (to the top). It is best to do the hike early in the morning to avoid too much of the heat from the sun rays as there is not much shade on top of the mountain. And also, it will be dark by 18.00GMT and so we advise tourists not to start their walk after 15.00GMT.
Precautions
The climb is not easy and rather steep at some points. Therefore, you must have a reasonable walking condition( shoe and a walking stick). For the very fit, there is a possibility to hike a little further to the next mountain right behind Afadjato called Aduadu.
The Twin Mountains
Further to the south is the beautiful Twin Mountains. New hiking trails have recently been constructed to the two peaks. It takes between an hour and 50 minutes to 2hours to climb both peaks of the Twin Mountains. The Twin mountains offer ideal hiking for adventurous mountaineers who wish to avoid Afadjato that is more over crowded with tourists. The Twin Mountains is almost as high as Afadjato and offers a magnificent view on a clear day of Lake Volta. One can also see Afadjato and Mount Aduadu in the background. Trekking on a hunter’s trail in the mountains is a great experience! Make sure you get one of the specially trained guides for this particular hike.
