Shere Hills: A Majestic Peak in Nigeria

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from major cities in the South East region like Enugu or Owerri, head towards Jos on the A234 highway. Follow the signs to Plateau State. Once you reach Jos, look for the signs leading to Shere Hills, which is approximately 15 kilometers from the city center. The road to Shere Hills is well-marked. Be prepared for some winding roads as you approach the hills. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition as some parts of the road can be challenging.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a bus from your location to Jos. Buses frequently depart from major terminals in cities like Enugu and Owerri. Once you arrive in Jos, you can take a local taxi or motorcycle taxi (known as 'okada') to reach Shere Hills. Local taxis are generally available at the bus park and can take you directly to the hills. Ensure you negotiate the fare beforehand; it typically costs around 500 to 1000 NGN depending on your starting point and the taxi's size.

• Local Taxi (after arriving in Jos)

  Once in Jos, if you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a local taxi for the day. This will allow you to explore Shere Hills at your own pace. The average cost for a local taxi for a round trip to Shere Hills from Jos city center is about 2500 to 4000 NGN. Make sure to agree on the fare before starting your journey.

• Guided Tour

  If you prefer a guided experience, consider booking a tour that includes transportation to Shere Hills. Various travel agencies in Jos offer packages that include transport, a guide, and sometimes meals. Prices for guided tours vary but generally start from 5000 NGN per person.
