Exploring Awhum Waterfall, Enugu Nigeria

Nigeria is Indeed Beautiful. Ever heard about the Awhum (pronounced Ohum) Waterfall?

It’s quite impossible to talk about nature’s gift to SOUTH-EAST Enugu without mentioning The Awhum Waterfall.

Although it’s quite on the city’s outskirt, some 24km away, in Amaugwe village, this 30 meters high waterfall and the cave are something for the adventurous tourist.

Though a Catholic Monastery manages the site, there is no religious restriction into the place.

The site’s attraction is not merely its waterfall; there is a mind-blowing stretch of 300m long limestone wall.

The towering limestone walls engulf the footpath that terminated beneath a wall, narrowing into different parts of the cave in which laid the twin cascades of Awhum Waterfalls.

The First Waterfall Intrudes The Cave At About 100m From The Entrance, While The Second And Biggest Cascade Stands At The Far End Of The Cave.

Thick forest canopies that cast a mild blanket of green tincture on the limestone walls cover a good part of the site, giving the enchanting milieu of an ambiance of awe and wonder.
