- Description:
Babanki Tungoh is set in a stunning volcanic landscape with three
towering rock outcrops surrounding the village, which give their names
to the three main families in Babanki. In the village you can discover
the crafts of traditional carvers, such as statues and masks.
A
trek to the lake of Babanki offers a way to see the surrounding
countryside, with this stunning lake as the highlight. The best way
to take full advantage of the scenery this area has to offer is to
undertake a homestay in Lower Babanki, where you will be served
traditional meals and also find museum owned by your host.
