Off the beaten path
Hidden Valley Trek

A steep, lightly used trail dropping off the Dolphin's Nose ridge into a wooded valley below the tea line.

The path leaves from near Dolphin's Nose and is best done with a local guide as it is unmarked in places.

It threads between tea estates and a remnant patch of forest — quiet, with good birding.

The descent is steep and slippery after rain; sturdy shoes and an early start are essential.
