About this place
The Nchiraa Waterfalls lie wedged between hills near the Nchiraa community in the Wenchi Municipality, roughly two kilometres into the surrounding forest. Visit Ghana records that the falls came to wider attention in the early 2000s after being found by a local hunter. Reporting by Graphic Online describes the site as still largely undeveloped, with little visitor infrastructure.
