 The
starting point for mountain trips is Dodola. From Addis Ababa you can reach
there by car within 5 hours of continuous driving. Through the Rift Valley
via Shashamene the distance to be covered is 320 km. Via Assela it is 280
km but may take the same time especially in the rainy season.
There
are also public transport busses serving both routes daily. The bus via
Assela leaves the central bus station in Addis at Mercato Manharia at 7
a.m. and arrives in Dodola at about 3.30 p.m. There is another direct bus
via Shashamene leaving at 8 a.m. from the same bus station. Other busses
leave at La Gare bus station in Addis all through the morning for Shashamene
where you have to change for Dodola.
 A
signboard on the roadside at the entrance of Dodola town directs you to
IFMP or the Motel next to the Mobil petrol station. They have 2 and 10
double-bed rooms, respectively, for accommodation.
