Kpalime
If you want to escape from the busy city life of Togo, I would recommend a visit to the village. The drive from Lome to Kpalime is a very thrilling one. The place is 120km away from Togo and if you are traveling through Ghana, cross the Tomegbe border and drive down to mount Kloto. The road will lead you into Kpalime.
