The Tengzug Shrine is located in the Tongo hills and is believed to grant luck and prosperity to all those who visit it. Beware of the exorbitant price for a profoundly uninspired village tour (15 cedis), the price of which you won't be told about until afterwards.
The Tongo Hills are 20 km southeast from Bolgatanga, which can easily be reached with a car or bus from most other cities. For the last few kilometres, a Tricycle or taxi can be used.
