Dawn creeps over the shoulders of Mount Kenya and the Chogoria Route unfurls like a raw, honest map: dense montane forest gives way to giant heather and wide moorlands, then the raw rock and scree that guard Point Lenana. On this six‑day climb you move through shifting climates—tropical understory to alpine air—each step raising the world’s temperature and your breathing rhythm.

6 days.
Requires good aerobic fitness, prior multi‑day hiking experience, and the ability to hike 6–12 hours on back‑to‑back days

No technical climbing is required for Point Lenana, but prior multi‑day hiking experience, fitness for long days, and comfort at altitude are important.
Nights are spent in basic bandas, huts and camps with full board provided; expect communal sleeping in dormitory‑style huts at higher elevations.
Yes—altitude can affect anyone. The itinerary includes staged ascents to aid acclimatization, but monitor symptoms and follow guide advice; descent is the primary treatment for serious cases.
