Kurbet Metaya is a dramatic viewpoint encountered on trekking routes between the Geech area and Chenek.

The trail passes along high escarpments with impressive views towards deep valleys and the lower country below.

For hikers travelling deeper into the Simien Mountains, Kurbet Metaya helps connect the better-known western viewpoints around Imet Gogo with the wildlife-rich landscapes around Chenek.

The area is best experienced as part of a longer Simien Mountains trekking holiday rather than a standalone excursion.
