Hambaricho Mountain
The 777 staircases of Hambaricho Mountain is becoming the new face of the Kambata people. The majestic Hambaricho Mountain at 3058m asl offers visitors a stunning view over the beautiful countryside. Hambaricho is believed to be the cradle of Hambaricho Lamala- the seven founding groups of Kambata.

The area is also known for its cultivation of Enset- the false banana plant which is one of the staples of the area. Hambaricho is 8km from Durame, the zonal capital of Kambata.
