The screenshot below shows the path you'll take from the area with secret #3 to the exit. After making your way over the treetops, as detailed below, you'll need to climb up into the ruins to get the INDRA KEY. Then drop down again and use the key to open the exit.
Begin by moving to the end of the stone wall overlooking the quicksand pool and stepping out onto the leafy, green canopy (as indicated by the bent white arrow on the left in the screenshot above). You may want to WALK here, since some of the leafy textures are not solid. Holding the Walk button while maneuvering will prevent Lara from stepping off the edge.
With the green edge-of-the-world wall on Lara's left, approach the steep green slope. Now you need to make a tricky jump to get over that slope. Position Lara in the spot marked with the white 'X' in the screenshot above, just to the left of the center of the block upon which she's standing.
Now pivot slightly to the right, as shown above.
Hop back once. Then hold Walk and take one step back.
Now take a running jump and press Left while Lara is in the air to veer in that direction...
...and clear the top of the slope.
This is a VERY tricky jump. Precise positioning is critical, and you'll probably need to try it a number of times before getting it right. Play with the starting point and the angle, and eventually you'll get it. But if not, don't worry if you can't make it. It's only a shortcut for fun.
Once you've cleared the slope, Lara will slide down the other side to land about here.
Slide down a little farther onto the partially transparent leafy textures at the outer corner of this treetop (as shown by the first white arrow in the screenshot above). Again, hold the Walk button as you maneuver Lara so she doesn't step off the edge and fall into the quicksand. Even though the textures here are see-through, you can still walk to the edge if you're careful. Take a running jump to the next solid area ahead (as shown by the second white arrow).
Walk along this treetops, keeping the level wall on Lara's left, until you're standing beneath the overhanging tree branches, as shown above.
Now turn about 45 degrees to the right and take a running jump over the quicksand to the stone stairs below. The exit is just opposite the bottom of these stairs, but you're missing the key. Go to the top of the stairs and climb onto the roof of the ruins.
Go around behind the angled wall to find the INDRA KEY. If the monkey grabs the key before you do, you'll have to kill it to get the key.
NOTE: You can also climb down through the hole near the key and explore the ruins backward if you want to.
Return to the ledge above the stairs, kill the tiger that appears under the overhang, then descend to the gate. Pick up the shotgun shells in the alcove on the left and use the key in the keyhole on the right to unlock the gate. Slog through the mud to finish the level.
