2-Day Lake Tana and Blue Nile Falls Tour with Ura Kidane Miheret

• Your Bahir Dar tour guide will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to your hotel.

• After check-in, embark on a boat trip on Lake Tana. It takes about an hour by boat to reach the Zeghe Peninsula and visit Ura Kidane Miheret Church. On the way, you might spot monkeys and beautiful birds.

• Then, take the boat to the other side of the peninsula to reach Kibran Gabriel Monastery. Unfortunately, women are not allowed to enter.

• Before heading back to Bahir Dar, take the boat to see the source of the Blue Nile and the amazing wildlife in that area.

• Return to Bahir Dar and have lunch.

• After some rest, go to Bezawit Hill to witness an amazing sunset.

• Shop at the local markets and see traditional dances and folk songs performed by local artists.

Stay overnight at the hotel.

• In the morning, start the journey to the Blue Nile Falls, which are about 80 km from the city.

• Reach the waterfall and hear the thunderous sound as the water crashes from a 45-metre-high cliff. From the village of Tis Abay, a splendid series of viewpoints can be reached along a 1.5 km footpath across the 17th-century Alata Bridge. Bird watchers should check the riverine forest here for endemic and near-endemic species such as the Blue-breasted Bee-eater, White-cheeked Turaco, Black-winged Lovebird, and Yellow-fronted Parrot.

• Return to Bahir Dar and explore the local markets.

Stay overnight at a hotel.
