With towering rocks, dramatic mountain peaks and breathtaking views stretching across the landscape, Shere Hills remains one of Plateau State’s outstanding natural treasures, offering an experience that combines adventure, history and the beauty of the great outdoors.
Located in Jos East Local Government Area, about 10 kilometres from Jos metropolis, the hills form part of the distinctive landscape of the Jos Plateau. Their massive granite formations and elevated terrain make them an attractive destination for hikers, climbers, photographers and nature enthusiasts.
Beyond their natural beauty, Shere Hills holds historical significance as the venue of the first All-African Scouts Jamboree in 1976. Today, its landscape offers opportunities for hiking, mountain climbing, camping and other recreational activities.
However, the attraction represents more than a scenic destination. With improved tourism infrastructure, environmental protection, organised recreational activities and effective promotion, Shere Hills could contribute to local economic opportunities and strengthen Plateau State’s tourism profile.
As Plateau continues to explore the opportunities within its natural and cultural heritage, Shere Hills stands as a reminder of the tourism treasures waiting to receive greater attention. Its mountains and remarkable rock formations tell a story of nature that deserves to be experienced beyond the borders of the state.
