Mount Gangan

Mount Gangan, rising to 1,117 meters above sea level, is a mountain in Guinea and one of the highest points on the Atlantic side of Maritime Guinea. Mount Gangan is made up of a large stony plateau. The lower slopes of the mountain are covered in raised savanna, while the higher slopes are covered in low woods. Mount Gangan is surrounded by rocky steep slopes and little bogs. From 650 meters, the vegetation consists of a low bush and small trees and bushes, with a maximum height of 5 to 6 meters.

The huge trees are more visible from 700 meters up, although their size diminishes beyond 900 meters. From 1000 meters, the granite pavement stones become more noticeable, covered by more or less dense plant carpets. The view from the summit, at 1117 meters, kisses the horizon, with the city of Kindia and a large military base.
