What started out as a walking trip of a day, ended being a two-day excursion of a destination we never reached! Fortunately, the scenery more than made up for it.
When asking around in that charming village, we were told that it would be a 2-3 hour walk from Serha. I concluded the guide must have mistaken something, and the next morning we went by bus to Serha, which appeared to be just on the border with Ethiopia. We were taken out of the bus, and the policemen pointed to a group of older people and a pregnant women who were on their way to Hamm. We just had to follow. We were walking pretty fast but it was impossible to keep up with the others. When we were still going down the cliffs of the higland, we saw them climbing on the other side of the valley. At one point, an armed soldier escorted us for an hour, until we reached his village. He pointed to the horizon, where we could discern some houses on a ridge, and said. Hamm. We realised that it was much more than a few hours walk, but continued nonetheless. For a short while, we followed a track which seemed passable for 4WDs, and then encountered a tall Slovak guy who assured us the monastery was just 2 hours from there. After a while, we were back on a small trail which was not at all obvious. After climbing another ridge, we thought we should see the evasive village of Hamm on the next one. However, nothing but rocks and scrubs. We decided that after 4 hours it was time for a short break and enjoyed the great views while drinking and eating something. And then, suddenly and completely unexpectedly, a small division of Indian peacekeeper troops showed up. They told us that the monastery was at least another two hours, and we calculated that we could make it only if we decided to stay overnight, which would mean missing out on other things.
