Mont Niénokoué, Mountain summit in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire.
Mont Niénokoué is a mountain summit located within Taï National Park, rising through dense rainforest terrain. The peak sits surrounded by thick vegetation and challenging slopes that characterize the park's geography.
Local stories describe the mountain as a stone that fell from the sky onto a village long ago. This narrative has shaped how communities in the region have understood and interacted with the place over time.
Every December, the Patokola people conduct traditional ceremonies at the mountain, offering meals of chicken, rice, and red oil to seek spiritual guidance.
Reaching the summit requires several hours of hiking through steep terrain and thick forest. Going with a local guide is recommended, as they know the paths and can help navigate the challenging landscape safely.
Mont Niénokoué ranks as the second highest peak among seven mountains in Taï National Park and seventh among thirty peaks in Bas-Sassandra region.
