Tongo is a small town near the Upper East region capital of Bolgatanga, and Tongo is the capital of Talensi-Nabdam district, a district in the Upper East Region of north Ghana. Tongo is known for the, Tengzug shrine, and for its sowing and harvest festivals.[1]

Another visitor's sight in the town is the Tongo Whistling Rocks. Located 10 kilometers (6 mi.) from Bolgatanga, these granite rocks jut dramatically from the terrain. The rocks also make a strange whistling sound during November and December, when the harmattan wind blows from the Sahara throughout the Northern Region.[1]
