Adjora fall

The twin Ajora falls of Soke & Ajacho rivers are locally known as Ajora falls. Facing the twin falls, the fall on the right is of the Ajacho River and the fall on the left is of the Soke River. The higher of the two falls, Soke Fall, plunges 500 meters into a gorge while the Ajacho Fall drops over a sheer chasm of 400 meters deep gorge. The falls join at the floor of the gorge to form Soke River which is the tributary to Omo.
