Car
If you are driving, start your journey from the nearest major town in Brong-Ahafo, such as Sunyani. Head east on the Sunyani-Berekum road. After approximately 20 km, you’ll reach Berekum. Continue on this road for another 15 km until you reach the town of Tanoboase. As you enter Tanoboase, look for signs that direct you to Kristo Buase Monastery, which is located at J4RC+HJ6. The monastery is situated on a hill, so follow the ascending road until you see the entrance. There is no entry fee for the monastery itself.
Public Transportation
To use public transport, take a trotro (shared minibus) from Sunyani to Berekum. The fare is usually around 5 GHS. Once in Berekum, you can take another trotro heading to Tanoboase. Make sure to inform the driver that you are going to the monastery, as they may drop you off at a suitable point near the entrance. The total journey by public transport may take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on waiting times and traffic. There is no entry fee for the monastery itself.
Motorbike Taxi (Okada)
For a quicker option, consider hiring a motorbike taxi (locally known as Okada) from Berekum to Tanoboase. Negotiate the fare beforehand, which should be around 10-15 GHS. The motorbike will take you directly to the monastery. Ensure your driver knows the exact location of Kristo Buase Monastery (J4RC+HJ6). The ride should take approximately 20 minutes. There is no entry fee for the monastery itself.
