Hike Details

Nyanduma Forest Bathing Hike

Embark on a captivating journey through the enchanting Nyandūma Forest trail, nestled at the southernmost end of the Aberdares. Greeted by the welcoming embrace of Nyayo Tea Zones, a protective buffer against deforestation, the undulating tea-carpeted landscapes set the stage for a mesmerizing adventure. Stretching 16.5 kilometers, the trail promises an immersive experience, estimated to take 5-6 hours to complete. Along the way, discover the tranquility of Nyandūma dam and pursue the melody of a waterfall gracefully flowing from the Komothai River.

Nyanduma Forest Bathing Hike is a haven for butterfly life within an indigenous forest adorned with majestic mūna trees. A highlight of the journey is the encounter with towering giant ferns, guarding the approach to the thundering falls—an awe-inspiring sight that must be witnessed firsthand to truly appreciate its magic. Join us this Saturday, the 25th, as we invite you to be part of this extraordinary experience. Nature’s wonders await, and we can’t wait to share the magic of Nyandūma with you. See you on the trail! 🌿🏞️🚶‍♂️ #NyandumaTrail #NatureMagic #AberdaresAdventure
