You may have heard of the Kwahu Mountains or the Kwahu Plateau. Around Easter, it is usually very busy because of a festival and you can enjoy paragliding from the Odweanoma Paragliding field. Kwahu is a district in the Eastern region and its capital is Nkawkaw. The mountains you see around Kumawu in Ashanti are the foothills of the Kwahu Plateau.
I usually write articles about the undiscovered places in the Ashanti region around Moon&Star guesthouse. But this year, I’d like to highlight other beautiful off-the-beaten-track places as well. Starting with Kwahu in this blog.

The Kwahu Mountains are easily accessible from Accra and Kumasi

Nkawkaw is located approximately between Accra and Kumasi and 3 hours travel from Moon&Star guesthouse. The central location and the fact that Nkawkaw is a transport hub, makes the Kwahu Mountains very suitable for a 2-day trip, for example in the weekends.

Hotels in the Kwahu district

There are several hotels in Kwahu district. You can choose to stay in Nkawkaw or in one of the smaller towns and villages in the district. Among others, you can lodge at Mpraeso, Obo and Abetifi.

Zipline and Canopy walk at Kwahu Obo

Obo is the place where many wealthier Ghanaians have built their holiday homes or second houses. Many Ghanaian musicians also come from Obo. For adventurous travellers, Obo offers a spectacular zipline and canopy walkway.

Kwahu Abetifi is the most high located town in the area

Abetifi is the capital of Kwahu East district. Abetifi is the most elevated village in this district. You can visit the Abetifi Stone Age park.
