This route provides more picturesque views than Naromoru and is located on the mountain’s dry side, offering some of the most enjoyable hikes. The journey includes a climb through a forest leading to a broad ridge that approaches the summit area. The trail originates on the northwest side of the mountain, near Nanyuki. The accessibility is decent, and the bunkhouse amenities are the finest on this mountain side.
