I recently visited Awhum Waterfall in Enugu, and it was an unforgettable experience! This natural wonder is a must-visit for anyone who loves hiking, nature, and adventure. The hike to the waterfall was moderately challenging, but the scenic views and lush greenery made it well worth the effort. The sound of the waterfall grew louder as we approached, and the sight of the cascading water took my breath away. What struck me most was the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the surroundings. It's as if nature has carved out a tranquil oasis, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. My only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is that the facilities and infrastructure could be improved. However, the raw beauty and immersive experience of Awhum Waterfall more than make up for it. If you're looking for a unique and rejuvenating experience, Awhum Waterfall is a must-visit destination. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of water, and take your time to soak in the natural beauty. An absolute gem in Enugu!

It was nice to be there. The pray walk from the beginning of the stream that leads to the Water Fall, to the Water Fall was healing. The dry hilly parts and paths were stressful though. I wish we could drive to those points and walk from the point where the cave/stream begins. I liked it there. I was in awe and I pray my prayers get answered.
