Lake Hora-Dambal & Lake Garba Guracha: Alpine Beauty

After the vastness of the Sanetti Plateau, these high-altitude lakes offer a moment of serene reflection.

Lake Hora-Dambal: A beautiful crater lake located near the park's headquarters in Dinsho. It's a fantastic spot for birdwatching and a gentle, scenic walk. It's easily accessible and a great warm-up for the bigger hikes.
Lake Garba Guracha: Meaning "Black Water" in Oromiffa, this deep, mystical lake is nestled high in the mountains near Tullu Dimtu. The trek to get there is challenging but immensely rewarding, offering a true sense of remote wilderness.

🌟 Why they're special: They provide completely different perspectives on the Bale landscape—one is easily accessible and teeming with life, the other is a remote alpine treasure earned through effort.
