Hike Summary

This trail is located at the boundary of Gatanga in Muranga County with Gatundu North in Kiambu County. The drive to the start point is scenic, winding through the tea fields of Gatura and Kiarutara. Set in the Southern Aberdares forest, the trail starts from an old fishing camp and leads to the forest full of indigenous trees. The trail is well-covered providing much-desired shade from the sun. The trail then goes down to a giant mugumo tree before crossing the Chania River and then following the Ragia river to the double-tier waterfall.

The trail is relatively short but very adventurous with multiple river crossings and walking on an unbeaten trail. A walking stick would be ideal to help you wade across the rivers. The trail takes only 4 hours if you start at the water intake point or 6-7hours of you start at the fishing camp.
