Some of the Natural attractions in Konso

"New York":
( a natural land slip phenomena with mud towers)

Gesergio, one of the walled villages of Konso, is 17 km from Karat. The village is of interest primarily for the adjacent formation of sand pinnacles sculpted by occasional water flow in a normal dry gorge. It is a magnificent and very unusual natural phenomenon. The superficial resemblance to a row of ' skyscrapers' led the phenomenon to be named ' New York'. As the eroding process continuous, no one can tell when the formation took place.
