Climbing Mt Kenya

Description


Climbing Mt Kenya in 5 Days

One of the prominent features of the Climbing Mt Kenya tour package on Chogoria Route is The Gorges Valley. The route to the peak circuit follows Chogoria Town’s path. Most of the traveling on 20 miles path from forest to the Park gate is by vehicle but one can do this by walking also. Forest is full of wildlife. Monkeys, elephants, leopard, and buffaloes are in abundance in the forest. You need to be cautious while traveling on the road as the condition of the road is not very good. The bamboo zone near the park gate is covered with grasses growing up to 12 m high.

The route of Climbing Mt Kenya tour passes through the forest where lichens hanging from the branches can be seen all around. The path crisscrosses each other on patchy Mugi Hill and around Lake Ellis. Lake Michaelson is also nearby Hall Tarns from where the overview of whole scenery could be enjoyed.

A small yet beautiful bridge crosses the Nithi stream near the track head. Down the stream, a path leads to the Gates Waterfall. The path offers stunning views of Lake Michaelson. The Delamere, Macmillan Peaks and the Temple are also nearby. Hall Trans is right above the Lake Michaelson at a height of 200 m. From here to onward, the slope of path decreases. Moving on, the paths would split, one will go toward the Simba Col while others to the Square Tarn. These two paths are famous for Peak Circuit Route.

Naro Moru Route is also a good one. It is opted by the majority of the trekkers who wish to reach Point Lenana. You can submit this route in 3 days and bunkhouses are also available at every stop, so no need to carry tents along. The path is good for the trekkers; however, one section is a little bit steep. In short, the trek starts from the Naro Moru town. It passes by the Park Headquarters. Then it goes between the Northern & Southern Naro Moru Rivers. The meteorological station is also on the roadside. The route leads into the Northern Naro Moru Valley to Mackinder’s Camp and then finally to Peak Circuit Path.
