The name 'Ajora' translates to 'deep' in the Wolaita language, aptly describing the deep plunge of the falls. The twin waterfalls eventually merge at a place called Buqula before flowing into the Omo Valley. The Ajecho fall originates from the Wolaita area, while the Sokei fall begins on the border between Kambatta and Wolaita.The area surrounding the falls is rich in biodiversity, offering opportunities for hiking and birdwatching. The falls are embraced by a dense forest that houses various wild animals. Visitors can engage with the local communities, learn about their culture, and hear stories about the area.
