Mount Kenya Sirimon Route 6 days – Up Sirimon Down Chogoria

Mount Kenya is one of the world’s famous big mountains and Africa’s second highest standing, highest of all Kenya’s mountains. At a height of 5199 meters above sea level, Mount Kenya has three peaks, Batian 5,199m, Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Only point Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for technical climbers.
