Awhum Waterfall

The Awhum Waterfall is located at Amu-Ugwu village of Awhum town in Udi Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria. The Awhum Waterfall is formed out of a massive outcrop of granite rock with water flow at the top forming a stream. Some part of the waterfall is usually warm through the seasons. The Awhum waterfall is 30 metres high and is located near the Awhum Monastery. The water is said to be curative (have healing power) and capable of dispelling evil forces if and wherever it is sprinkled. It takes about 50 minutes walk from the parking spot to the fall. The site is particularly good for religious tourism. The Awhum Waterfall is also a popular tourist location in Nigeria.
