Komothai

Komothai trail is a rare combination of everything beautiful. Only a few minutes from the start you get to marvel at the site of clean free-falling waterfalls in the middle of tea farms. The trail takes you into the forest ending at another magnificent view of two more waterfalls before heading back to Githunguri where we wrap up with a ‘kibandaski’ experience at the 680 joint – Drifter’s favorite nyama choma joint.
