This is a challenging 6 hour hike for curious hikers. It starts at Gichiengo Shopping center descending steeply through the thick forest vegetation. The hiking route follows the railway line to a little-known train tunnel known by locals as Kamungu ka Nduma translated from Kikuyu meaning A dark tunnel.
