Gushuralle Peak Forest Trail:
Beginning at the Bale Mountain Lodge in the Katcha clearing, 7km south of Rira, this trail takes you through dense bamboo forest. Wildlife you may come across includes Bale monkey, Menelik’s bushbuck, warthog, colobus monkey, mountain nyala and giant forest hog. Although sightings are rarer, keep your eyes peeled for leopard and lion. The summit of Gushuralle provides spectacular views across the Harenna forest. It takes about 2-3 hours to reach the apex of Gushuralle from Katcha and return.
