Much more scenic than Naromoru, and it is on the drier side of the mountain, which offers some of the finest walking. Climb up through the forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route starts on the northwest side of the mountain, near Nanyuki. Access is adequate, and the bunkhouse facilities are the best on this side of the mountain. Though the Mount Kenya summit can be reached in 4 days as per the below itinerary, we strongly recommend an overnight acclimatization at the base in Nanyuki town.
