Theta Dam Trek

Theta Dam is in Gatundu South. It’s located inside Kinale Forest. It’s being constructed across Theta River in the Gatundu South constituency. The reservoir supplies water to the residents of the upper parts of Gatundu. Our hike starts at the sleepy town of Mundoro through the forest. This hike is a good plot if you love silent places to unwind from civilization.
