The awe-inspiring Chogoria Sirimon Route ascent up Mount Kenya, spread over 5 days, is the one we highly recommend. The 5-day trek up the Chogoria Sirimon Route is arguably the driest means of scaling the mountain. The journey along the Gorges Valley is nothing short of spectacular. The Mount Kenya National Park, through which the route winds, is at its best during the dry months of January, February, late August and September. October, too, is a good time for this hike.
Descending via the Sirimon route exposes you to beautiful forest paths and concludes your traverse of the mountain. The details of this 5-day climb up the Chogoria Sirimon Route are discussed herein. This route along with Chogoria forms the most picturesque climb up Mt. Kenya. The journey starts from the Northwestern side of Mt. Kenya and takes you through Liki North, Old Moses Camp, and Shipton’s Camp before culminating at Point Lenana at an altitude of 4985m.
