the third highest peak Pt. Lenana. This
challenging, non-technical ascent can
be made by any healthy person.
Five DAYS 4 NIGHTS SIRIMON TREK (Sirimon

The Sirimon Track is one of the finest
approaches to the peak area. It offers
some of the best views of the main peaks,
with a gradual climb, which can be done
leisurely. We traverse the mountain
by ascending the Sirimon Track.

for a road transfer. We arrive in Nanyuki
at 1030am where we shall have lunch.
At 1130 hrs we shall depart for the

Our Mountain trek starts from this point
after a few formalities at the Gate,
an easy trek in the afternoon to help
acclimatization. Overnight will be at
Old mosses (3300m) in the high altitude
mountain cabins. By the end of the day
we will have done 5 hours of walking.
Day 2 The day starts at 00700 Hrs
By the end of this day we shall have
done about 8 hrs of walking (Leisurely).
This will be a true taste of patience,
endurance & determination.

in this beautiful little valley below
the subsidiary peaks of Teleki and Sendeyo,
two ancient parasitic vents of the main
peaks. (3990m).Climb out of the North
Valley and into the Mackinders Valley,
