Explore the Majestic Wulasay Mountain

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Lalibela, head south toward the main road. Look for signs directing you towards the Lalibela Rock-Hewn Churches. Continue walking for about 15 minutes until you reach the intersection with the main road. Turn left onto the main road, which is also known as the Lalibela-Addis Ababa highway. Walk along this road for approximately 1.5 kilometers until you see a sign for Girany Amba, which is on your right. Follow this smaller road for about 2 kilometers, keeping an eye out for local landmarks such as small shops or coffee stands. After reaching Girany Amba, continue straight until you see the path leading towards ውላሳይ ተራራ Wulasay, which is approximately 500 meters from the main road. The trailhead is marked by a small rock formation and some local trees, leading you to the hiking area.

• Local Guide

  If you're unsure about your route or prefer not to walk alone, consider hiring a local guide in Lalibela. You can find guides at the main square or near the churches. Discuss with them your interest in visiting ውላሳይ ተራራ Wulasay, and they will lead you directly to the area, providing insight into the surroundings and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

• Bicycle Rental

  For a more adventurous option, rent a bicycle from one of the shops in Lalibela. Begin your ride heading south towards the main road, then turn left onto the Lalibela-Addis Ababa highway. Cycle for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the Girany Amba turn-off on your right. Take this road for about 2 kilometers before you reach the ውላሳይ ተራራ Wulasay trailhead, which is a great spot to park your bike before beginning your hike.
