Description

Overview

6 Days Best Package Chogoria Route Down Naro Moru Distance: 75 km | Difficulty: Demanding | Start/Finish: Nairobi Summary Pack camping gear and supplies to strike out west up this long but spectacular approach through the deep chasm of gorge valley. Mt Kenya Trek Day There are three main Mount Kenya climbing routes, which penetrate the forest and the moorland. The Mount Kenya trekking routes are Naromoru, Sirimon and Chogoria and each of which has something different to offer. Naromoru is the fastest route to point Lenana but not as scenic as the other two. Mount Kenya Chogoria Route is the most scenic and Sirimon the most interesting because it is on the drier side of the mountain.
