Take the exit toward Kabarnet and continue for approximately 10 kilometers. Look for a sign indicating the turn to Emwai waterfall. Follow this road for about 2 kilometers until you reach the parking area near the waterfall. Note that the road may be unpaved in sections, so a 4x4 vehicle is advisable.
