Over the years, the festival has proven that there cannot be Easter in Ghana without Kwahu Easter Paragliding Festival. The festival which has been happening every year for about 10 years now, attracts both Ghanaians and foreigners to the Eastern Region during Easter.<br />
<br />
<br />
Paragliding which is a recreational and adventurous sport has numerous health benefits that visitors going to Kwahu will be blessed with after their visit. Through paragliding, you can burn 230 calories per hour for an average 150-pound person, due to the immense adrenaline rush experienced while flying.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, it helps create confidence and enables you to overcome fear of heights. When para-gliding, you focus on the task and nothing else. You forget all your worries and the usual distractions of life. The intense focus coupled with adrenaline rush makes you feel cleansed mentally and physically.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hiking the Odweanoma Mountain in Atibie is another activity that visitors explore during their short stay in Kwahu. Visitors take a hiking expedition to the mountain through the 'Nkofieho' Caves of Life.<br />
<br />
<br />
The journey to the caves area itself is a unique experience through a typical forest. At a certain stage in the journey, tourists have to take on the challenge of climbing up the hill as part of the excitement.<br />
<br />
<br />
A hike through the 'Nkofieho' caves of life is an adventure that everyone must experience on their visit to Kwahu. Don't miss this once in a life time opportunity to take an adventure in Kwahu when you visit there this Easter.

Mpraeso sits on a mountain plateau about three-four hours' drive from 
Accra, the capital city of Ghana. Technically African busses hold five 
passengers in each row. In reality they also hold an<br />
unlimited assortment of children, tie up wings and legs of chicken or other birds or goat or sheep under the seats,<br />
and luggage. It's usually a tight fit.<br />
The busses operate on "African time" and will not depart until they are filled with people and goods.<br />
<br />

For an European it may not be comfortable ride, because of the heat, the crowd, and the bumps,<br />
you will find yourself included in the instantaneous community of the bus.<br />
<br />
In the bus, Some sing, others eat, while occasionally someone will stand up in front, next to the driver<br />
and try to sell herbal medicine (the practice of the medicinal and therapeutic use of plants)<br />
to passengers that cures every disease from how to give good sex, become fat, eat good and even cancer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">On your arrival in/at Nkawkaw city/town, next to Atibia and Mpraeso, you will hear </span></i></blockquote>
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">taxi drivers and other mini-buses yelling (shout in a loud voice), </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">"Atibia-Mpraeso! Mpraeso-Atibia! Mpraeso-Obo!, </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">Mpraeso-Obomeng! Mpraeso-Bepong! Mpraeso-Nkwatia! </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">Mpraeso-Asakraka-Tafo! etc Over here! Over here!"</span></i><br />
<br />
Remember, African taxi drivers takes four passengers, three back and one front.<br />
A bad taxi driver can take four back and two front. Making a total of six passengers.<br />
Plus the taxi driver, that means seven people will be packed in that small box of car.<br />
If you will not go, others are ready to take. So it will be better you join the heat in the car.<br />
<br />

You can be the best driver in Europe or America but your driving experience<br />
can not take you through the mountainous terrain of Mpraeso-Kwahu,the climb became steeper as you drive.<br />
There is some part of the mountain, where one needs to sign a song before the climbing becomes clear.<br />
<br />
Remember, your driven license ends at Mpraeso-Kwahu, you need simple uneducated boy on the roadside<br />
to take you across the mountainous road of Mpraeso-Kwahu.<br />
<br />
Never try it and you will die before your time. There is nothing about<br />
spirit at this modern days but the hills and valleys are not normal for driving through<br />
because some areas look like slope, flight of stairs, or rising or falling sharply, almost perpendicular.
