I have been to olumirin falls thrice. I have never gotten to the 7th floor. it seems fictional. Trekked for over 1hr looking for the floor. Got to the top of the hill and eventually started going down still I couldn't find d fall. had to turn back before I would see myself in another community. if u make it to the 7th floor let me know

Did u climb alone or with the locals? The locals know the hills better than u do to avoid aimless hiking, you need to go with them.

we were a group although we didn't go with the locals. The locals were not interested in showing us the 7th floor so we had to walk on our own. After walking for over an HR we had to turn back

agrovick:
I think about 2hrs45mins; going in a group is your best option.

I still remember that day; we were 7 in number all dressed in our hiking gear that consists of just boxers & singlets and walking barefooted.
Mhen, boys have acted phoolishly in the past

2hrs 45mins? Oh my God. Abeg I will pass. me when no like to trek.

Okay
Anyway I think you explored the place better than I did. I could only get to the 3rd level because of time constraints.

Your best bet is going in a group, it's the surest way to conquer it.

Visited 2,4,5,6 and almost 1. They say almost doesn't count sha.

As much as we like crossing off epic hikes in faraway lands, we need to acknowledge that there is plenty to discover in our own backyard. Interestingly, hiking is becoming more sought-after in Nigeria and there are so many beautiful landscapes to be explored.

Several trails have been discovered which are perfect for hiking for every skill level from the moderately easy, to the steepest. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive but I hope to give you a great taste of what is out there.

1. Olumo Rock
