Mahout is a summit on the high plateau in the Cathedral Peak area. It lies inland from the escarpment face, so a journey along the mountain edge and a visit to the summit are different outings.

Explore the Cathedral Peak area: The Cathedral Peak and Didima valley has walking options ranging from short outings in the foothills to longer routes into the high mountains. Route choice makes a substantial difference to the experience and preparation required. Read our Cathedral Peak Nature Reserve (Didima) guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
