Visit the Nsude pyramid shrines with realistic hopes

Über diesen Tip
The Nsude pyramid shrines near Udi were recorded as ten stepped earth pyramids linked to Uto, a protective deity of the village. Weather has worn them down and only remnants remain, so go for the story and the open landscape, not for monumental ruins. The state lists the site among its tourism projects, with a canopy walkway planned, so ask locally whether works have changed access. The mounds lie about 2 km outside the village, so take a local guide.
