Traveling through the western states in Nigeria you might decide to pay a visit to Idanre town, a serene town hovering with mind-wrenching mountian as high as 3000ft tall. The town is reputably known for it’s tentative UNESCO world heritage site, the famous ‘ Idanre Hills’ which is unarguably one of the most visited tourist attraction in the country.


Idanre Hills fondly called Oke Idanre is a beautiful landscape that sits at the top of a hill in Idanre town, Ondo state Nigeria. It is significantly known for the remains of the ancient settlement that existed with clear evidence of inhabitants on it’s summit. The hill which also serve as a resort is known for it’s majestic view and the mysterious stories of chiefs and warlords that comes with it’s storytelling.

The top of the hill...

An old house built by the white missionary in 1954 for resting known as the tourist chalet

I remember climbing the rocks here....

Or was it Olumo Rock ?

That feeling of tightness in the chest.... giddiness of low oxygen supply.

You look down and your eyes swim, wondering what sound your head will make crashing on those jagged rocks below undecided

But of course, the mountain climbing only happened in my mind

Climbing through the hills can be strenuous if you did not come well prepared. It is like hiking through a mountain only that this has steps and a clear path to follow. I had planned on going to a different location before making up my mind to come here. I had left home and headed to Ijebu-Ode only to be told the site I would have love to visit is not accessible to women.
As to that, I left home with the wrong set of outfit. A flowing trouser is not suitable to climb neither was the slip-on shoe I had on good enough. One should come here with good hiking boots and short. A water-bottle, snacks, drinks, a music plug and definitely a hiking partner aside the guide to have a good fun of the place.
They are about five resting point that leads to the top of the hill before the ancient town for hikers and tourist to relax before proceeding. At the first resting point there is a bar that sells chilled drinks and water for hikers to take along with them to sustain the climb. I got one bottle water and to tell you I finished it before even getting to the final resting point.

At one of the resting point

At the House of Ojomu the 3rd in command the the king.

The "osokogbe" stone that a male adult mist be able to lift to qualify him for marriage to any lady from Idanre.

Good one girl.. I have bath inside the arun river and even swim under water through a small mountain inside the river to burst out in the other side.. You should try to get to the place where the hand writing of a hen on the mountain too.. I happens to know these because I have son of the soil as friends there and I do go there for business. Don't forget the ark of Noah and the invisible leg that expand... Good luck in your tour.

Entry passage to the resort comes with an entrance fee of 1000 and then you have to pay your tour guide a particular fee you both agree on for his/her service. I was told by my tour guide the site has been renovated from time to time to make it more appealing to tourist. More works can still be done tho to make it more attractive like having an art centre or a mini cultural centre

Entrance to the ancient palace...

The old courtyard where built by the missionary...it has an extension for prison yard also.
