Khorixas Constituency

Khorixas Constituency

Khorixas is a constituency in the Kunene Region of Namibia. Its population is 10,906. The interesting name of this constituency comes from a derivation of the Damara word "Gorigas," which is a water bush that grows in the area. This area is famous for the Ugab Terraces, a stone monolith that can be seen from almost everywhere. There is also a petrified forest, and rock engravings in Twyfelfontein.
