Going up this route is a challenge: rough underfoot, an overgrown track more used by elephants than humans, muddy when wet, no huts, and dense stands of giant bamboo and montane forest -why would you want to take it? Well, it’s for real wilderness aficionados. The route was pioneered during colonial days and then abandoned for many years until it was re-opened in the early ’90s. It provides a unique and completely natural mountain trekking experience. Up to point Lenana then descend on the Chogoria route provides the most spectacular views and completes a traverse of Mount Kenya. Gentle hike down a broad ridge enjoying magnificent views back up the valley to the Mt Kenya snowy peaks, and down to waterfalls, tarns and lava flows in the Gorges Valley itself. Overnight in the Meru Mt. Kenya cabins – log fires, hot showers, beds – and if the supply vehicles have made it up through the forest, Tusker beers! Wildlife viewing possible in the evening with elephants and buffalo often grazing
