So historical and a nice view for tourist attractions, very high and needs you to be mentally and physically ready to climb up to the hills. AdoAwaye is actually a suspended lake that doesnt flow down or has a source and when it rains it remains the same, it doesnt get fuller or reduces when its dry season. Its located in oyo state in a village called Ado after iseyin.Government needs to work on this places for more security, keeping thugs of, hotels and relaxation centers.

Super beautiful site you cant wait to visit. The climb to be top isnt tough, the views on the different levels is simply breathtaking. See the Ishage heavy rock standing on two legs, enjoy the scenic landscape view as you continue to the Hanging lake. The lake can be described as bottomless and is not open for swimming because the depth isnt known. Its a very picturesque site. Then see the tree with a elephant trunk shape. You should be here, if you want to answer the call of great mother nature. Make sure to have some N500 to pay the Tour guide there, and maybe some extra cash to tip because they are very friendly and welcoming.

One of the only two suspended lakes in the world ( A must see view). The view is breathtaking 😍. Just remember to carry a good pair of hiking boots, because you would need it. Enjoy, also some of the locals are very friendly, while others might want to over charge you for things. You might also want to visit the cave, which is not so far from the suspended lake ( ask the locals for direction)

Great hiking experience, great experience climbing the not properly maintained steps, great view after reaching the first sight (the bringer of rain).Lovely view once you are up on the mountains. However, the lake has no wow factor.There was no way to validate the myth that if you enter, you will relocate to another continent.

This is home to one of the 2 suspended lakes in the world.Blessed with several other mysterious natural attraction like Ishage, the elephant tree, Iya alaro lake etc.The hill is a good hiking site but a bit tedious cos of the bad state of the stairs leading up.Asides that, the experience is a great one and you need to be brave and daring as its a long hike up . But the view from the summit is amazing and compensating.The town is calm and the villagers are friendly and helpful too.Ill love to visit again and again.

Beautiful place. Its a lovely hike up could get a bit tiring but its doable for most levels of fitness... I would rate it an easy to moderate hike. The views from mid way and on top are very rewarding. We payed a local guide to go up it us

The wonders of the lake in the hill is really a sight to behold. However it needs maintenance and improvements to make it a resort center.

Review №19

It was nice to visit Ado-awaye mountains and suspended Lake and I really think everyone should visit there at least once in their lifetime. Its better to go early in the morning before the sun is out because lots of endurance required for the hiking and would be more difficult with sun. Also youll need lots of water for the journey and good company for team spirit. I dont mind going again.

Lovely location. You get to experience nature in all its beauty. If youre going hiking, please come prepared-phisically, mentally and emotionally because its an intense experience but the view from the top is really beautiful (and a bit frightening) but it will be an experience to remember.

Theres no official tour guide as at July 2019 when we went one of the youths nominated by the..Er.. People in charge will take you up and down..be very specific about how much youre paying especially if they want to collect money before you go up I paid 2000 for me and my friend because thats how much Id seen online that people paid.. as much as possible make sure its just one guide not 2 to avoid squabble over who is paying who

A very nice place for adventure lovers. Full of Mystery, the suspended lake located on top but can be easily located by a tour guard. The verge of death, the rain maker stone and the elephant tree are fantastic side attraction on the mountain.
