A Complete Guide about
Jamacho Gumba Hiking

The adventure begins at the Fulbari Gate, where you present your ID and pay the national park entry fee. The air is fresh, filled with the sounds of rustling leaves and distant bird calls. Take a deep breath, there’s no rush. Ease into the trail, warm up your muscles, and find your rhythm.

Within minutes, you might spot playful monkeys swinging through the trees, their curious eyes following your movement. But remember, no matter how close they get, resist the urge to feed or tease them. They are best admired from a distance.

As you continue along the trail, the path gradually leads to a checkpoint. Here, you’ll need to present the paper document you received at the Fulbari Gate. This ensures that every visitor is accounted for, adding a layer of safety to your journey.

The trail moves ahead, going through the green trees. Hydration is key, so take frequent sips of water to keep your energy levels steady. Eventually, you’ll reach the snack point, a well-earned break. Take this moment to refuel, perhaps with some nuts, fruit, or an energy bar, because the next stretch is steep uphill.

Pace yourself. With each step, the hill gets steeper making the climb more difficult, but the views become more rewarding. Listen to your body, take short breaks if needed, and push forward at a steady pace.

As you prepare for the descent, step carefully. Slow your pace, bend your knees slightly to cushion each step, and be mindful of loose rocks. Downhill can be trickier than uphill, so focus on balance and stability.

Reaching the checkpost, make sure to check in for your descent, an important safety measure. Then, as the trees thin and the trailhead comes into view, a sense of accomplishment washes over you. The journey comes full circle. At the gate, present yourself to the army officials and retrieve your ID, a final step before heading back, carrying with you the memories of the trail.
