Menchum Falls,
Bangwe Village, Wum council area.
After rain, the short ride to the precipitous Menchum falls will take you past
a number of lakes into the Bangwe village. There is no gain say
that Wum municipality is the touristic hub of Menchum Division since most of
the touristic sites are lodged in Wum central subdivision, the Divisional
headquarters. This divisional headquarter is hosted by Wum council. The council
for the past years under Dighambong Anthony Mvo, is doing all
what she can to promote tourism this through a series of activities varying
from cultural to touristic. The Famous Menchum falls shall soon
receive a special touch, with the construction of boucarous to enable tourists,
students on field trips and other passerby to have their snacks while watching
at the marvels of nature. This will not only boost the tourism sector of our
country, but generate some revenue for our council so as to enable the council
forge ahead and thus, emerging by 2035 as our illustrious head of state,
President Paul Biya, dreams it. This will only be possible if we all take part
in the developmental vision of Wum council and by putting all hands on deck.

From lakes, falls, rocks and
ancient caves, Wum municipality is Menchum division in miniature. The visitor
is held spell bound at the breath taking natural vegetation, community forests
with rare species of birds, animals and trees, mountainous hills, owe inspiring
valleys, the meandering Menchum river, the sand quarries and above all the
welcoming and hospitable people of the municipality who hold strongly to their
cultural values, an added value to the tourism sector. A series of venerated
masquerades, traditional dances that keep you dancing and dancing and dancing.
The council has not left anybody out as far as this drive for development is
concerned. Persons living with disability have come on board so that together,
we all can promote a disability inclusive development through the putting in
place of a disability friendly environment, suitable for all. Take a ride through these pictures
