Kwahu Plateau, Mpraeso, Eagle’s Peak

The American Buddhist was nowhere to be found on the day of our visit, but a friendly lady offered us tables in a restaurant sorely in need of a facelift. Only fried rice and chicken was available for lunch, not particularly remarkable. There seemed to be nicely painted cottages down the hill, but we did not inspect them.

My impression was that a nice idea simply hadn’t worked out very well, perhaps because the location up in the mountains simply does not have an eagle’s view, despite the name.

I agree that Rose’s is an excellent place for food in Kpando. Ask someone to show you how to get there, for as Robert mentions, it is not on the street and difficult to find.

Also, in Nkawkaw, the Rojo Hotel in Nkawkaw is now asking $40 to $60 per night. They have a swimming pool and a new block of rooms, but the view of the plateau is marred by the trees in front of the hotel. Be sure to get a room on the top floor, but don’t bother with the Jacuzzi room. My traveling companion and I were both sick after eating in the hotel restaurant. There are plenty of better options unless you really want the swimming pool.

Nkawkaw is developing an area at the base of the Kwahu Plateau. The road is being paved and hotels are sprouting up all over. Turn towards the plateau at the junction nearest the STC station.
