Mount Kenya Climbing - Hiking - Sirimon Route
Mount Kenya, at an altitude of 5199 [17058ft] the country's highest mountain, has its higher slope permanently covered in snow and ice, even though it sits astride the equator.

The National park comprises the mountain above the 320m [10,500ft] contour plus two salients astride the Naro moru and the Sirimon routes.

The mountain consist of three peaks the Batian [the highest] Nelion and Lenana. Of these peaks, the original hard center core is all that remains; the bulk of the volcano has been eroded away with time.

Itinerary:

Day 1:
Depart from Nairobi at 09:00hrs and proceed towards the cool slopes of Mt. Kenya. Cross the Equator and arrive at Nanyuki hotel in time for Lunch. Relax and enjoy the excellent facilities and magnificent scenery.

Day 2:
Morning spent sorting and organizing personal equipment for the mountain trek. After lunch we drive to Sirimon Gate and then to road head at 11,000 ft. An easy walk in the afternoon to help acclimatization. Overnight Judmaier camp. Here we spend the night in high altitude mountain tents.

Day 3:
After Break we ascend the Sirimon Track to Liki North Valley and spend the night camped in this beautiful little valley below subsidiary peaks of Teleki and Sendeyo, two ancient parasitic vents of the main peaks. Overnight stay in Liki North Valley,13,000 ft.

Day 4:
Climb out of the North Valley and in to the Mackinder’s valley, on the broadest valleys of Mt. Kenya. We camp at the head of the Mackinder’s Valley, just below the main peaks of Batian and Nelion. 14,000ft.

Day 5:
Make an alpine ascent of the third highest peak, point Lenana (16,355 ft). This route up the north face is little used by tourists. Four hours of stiff walking to the summit. Descend to the Teleki Valley on the opposite side of the main peaks, to Mackinders Camp. Overnight Teleki Valley (13,000 ft.)

Day 6:
Descend to the Met. Station (Road head) on the Naro Moru Track and then back to the hotel for meals and overnight.
