Mount Kenya trek that combines the two most scenic routes of Mt Kenya. Ascending is on the dry side of the mountain which offers some of the finest walking. Climb up through forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is adequate and the bunk house facilities are the best on this side of the mountain. This climbing can be tailor made to your liking by reducing or adding days.
