Thiririka Falls Hike & Swim Sun
Overview
This easy 9km hike starts a few kilometers from Gatundu town and concludes in the town itself. The journey involves trekking down to the Thiririka river, visiting an artificial waterfall (No 1), followed by a natural waterfall (No 2) where participants can relax and swim. The hike continues downstream along the river before ascending. The second section includes crossing the river via a water pipe network, culminating at Thiririka Falls (No 3), which also offers a smaller, more public swimming pool. The trail is generally pleasant, though some sections near the river can be slippery, offering scenic views of the waterfalls and river.
