Ragia forest circuit takes you to one of the most beautiful unspoiled forests in Kenya with a lot of biodiversity and lies within the larger Aberdare forest ecosystem. This amazing trek is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys immersing themselves in nature surrounded by beautiful trees and listening to the sound of birds chirping and rivers flowing. The trail starts at Sasumua Dam through Chinas camp gate. It proceeds through thick bamboo forest and down the valley into the waterfall and Mau Mau caves which were used as hiding places during the fight for independence by Mau Mau fighters. From the caves, the trail leads out of the forest through a forest road.
