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.
