Mount Guna

Rising to an elevation of 4,120 meters above sea level, Mount Guna is a prominent extinct shield volcano located in the South Gondar Zone of the Amhara Region. Characterized by expansive afroalpine moorlands, steep valleys, and unique endemic flora, Mount Guna serves as a critical regional water tower—feeding key tributaries of both Lake Tana and the Blue Nile basin. Its high-altitude terrain makes it an increasingly popular destination for trekking, biodiversity research, and eco-tourism.
