Walking

Start from the center of Awasa, specifically near the main market area. Head southeast on the main road (Bole Road) towards the hospital. After about 1 kilometer, you will reach a junction. Take a left turn at the junction and continue walking straight for another 2 kilometers until you reach a sign indicating the direction to Habas Lake. Follow the sign, which will take you onto a smaller path leading into the natural area surrounding the lake.

Bicycle

Rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Awasa. Begin your journey from the lakeside promenade, cycling along the shoreline heading east. Continue cycling for about 3 kilometers until you reach the intersection near the hospital. At the intersection, take a right turn and follow the road for approximately 2 kilometers until you see signs indicating the way to Habas Lake.

From the center of Awasa, locate the minibus station near the main market. Look for a minibus heading towards Algerima. Board the minibus and enjoy the ride, which should take about 30 minutes.
