This is the most popular of all routes that can lead you to the peak of the Mount Kenya, Point Lenana on 4985m. The trek is the steepest and fastest way to reach the top and ascends the mountain from the west, while enjoying the natural beauty around you.
The route offers some of the best tourist accommodations, as the cabins on this side of Mount Kenya are in a good quality, which compensates the fewer scenic views. But don’t worry, there is definitely still a lot to see.
Most climbers begin their adventure at the park gate, although it is possible to drive as far as to the Met station (3050m). Among the challenges on this route is the vertical bog and the extremely steep trail on loose gravel while going up.
