It's the only town at the foot of Simien National Park, located between Aksoum and Gondar, a main place to stop, where you pay an entrance fee for the park and choose your guides, scout, cook, routes, etc. before the climb.

Debark: How to get there?
1 day by car from Aksoum or a few hours from Gondar

My suggestion
Plan in advance how you will reach Debarq from Aksoum; buses are often full upon arrival from Gondar and the roads full of roadworks are tedious, so you can easily be held up for an hour.
