The highest peak in Togo. With an exceptional view. It rains frequently. At night on the way down, the landscape is dark, totally black but very magnificent 🤩 due to the street lights on the main Avétonou-Kpalimé road and the light bulbs in the surrounding villages. Being on a mountain at night is very exciting seeing any lighting system it gives a pleasure and another image of the landscape in the dark.
