Tongo Hills, Hill chain in Upper East Region, Ghana
The Tongo Hills extend for 6 kilometers, forming a U-shaped valley that opens towards the north with granite formations reaching 355 meters in elevation.
The Hiding Cave within the Tongo Hills provided shelter for local inhabitants who sought refuge from British colonial forces during periods of conflict.
The Tengzug Shrine, nestled within the hills, maintains traditional protocols where visitors remove their shirts before entering the sacred grounds.
Local guides from the Talensi District lead visitors through the network of paths, explaining the geological features and cultural significance of different locations.
The granite formations known as the Whistling Rocks generate distinct sounds when the harmattan winds from the Sahara blow through during November and December.
