Kinale Trek

Kinale is a floral mosaic where orchids grow in plenty, as well as bamboo stalks due to the area’s high altitude. As you walk into the forest, the trees of Kinale tower over you. In the early morning, the fog takes precedence over the pathways and you’d probably need a torch to find your way through this forest. Be sure to carry your camera to capture the fog that evokes ” the horror type of vibes” in the wee morning hours.
