Continue for about 15 kilometers until you reach the junction for Mukara Mountain, which is marked by a sign. Turn left and follow the road as it winds up the mountain.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Bahir Dar to Mukara Mountain. This option is more expensive, with fares ranging from 300 to 600 Ethiopian Birr depending on negotiation and the type of vehicle.
