Located in Amu-Ugwu (Amaugwe) village, Awhum town, Udi Local Government Area—just 24–35 km from Enugu city—this 30-metre cascade flows over striking granite rock formations into crystal-clear pools. What makes Awhum truly unique is its warm waters that remain temperate year-round, the mysterious cave used as a prayer grotto, the serene Our Lady of Mount Calvary Cistercian Monastery that oversees the site, and the lush forest trails that lead visitors through a peaceful canyon landscape.
