Yimrehana krestos church Is one of among lalibela rock hewn churches! It's built thousand years ago by the king yimrehana kirstos! It's far away 40 or 50 kilometers from lalibela town!

It's about 1.5hrs drive from lalibella via bad roads. Transport for a private minibus should be not more than 1200 birr. Landrover not more than 1500 birr. Entrance fee for the church is 300 birr per person. A guide is around 500 Birr per group. The church is different to the churches in lalibella and the oldest in the region so it is worth the trip.

Worthwhile seeing on holidays, very busy and heavily congested with much traffic. I had to track through the mountains. For over an hour To get to the site.

Lalibela,the 12th c. AD capital is known for its rock churches and religious ceremonies.

Beautiful architecture
