Chappal Waddi, Mountain peak in Gashaka Gumti National Park, Nigeria and Cameroon.

The Chappal Waddi summit reaches an elevation of 2,419 meters, forming the highest point in Nigeria and second highest in West Africa.

Local communities have marked the peak with a wooden signpost in 2020, establishing the first official summit marker for this natural landmark.

The mountain holds the name Gang Peak among indigenous Mambilla people who connect agricultural harvests with natural events occurring at its heights.

Reaching the summit requires guidance from local experts who navigate through the Gashaka Gumti National Park's varied terrain and forest paths.

The mountain contains sections in both Nigeria and Cameroon, creating a natural border marker within the Bamenda-Alantika-Mandara mountain chain.
