On arrival ignite your soul with the magic of forest bathing, the short exciting and adventurous trail to Kimakia Falls with multiple river crossings and walking on an unbeaten trail follows an old fisherman's path down the forest full of indigenous trees giving the trail a well-cover providing much-desired shade from the sun.
