Daringbadi Nature Trail

2 km

This walking trail through pine groves and native forest vegetation sits about 2 km from Daringbadi and is best tackled between November and March when the forest is at its most inviting. Access is moderate, so a vehicle comfortable on hill roads helps. Bird-watching and the chance of wildlife sightings make it worth the effort, though amenities are limited to shade and parking, so pack your own snacks and water. A small entry fee applies in the mid range — see the fast facts for the current rate.
