Mountain & Summit Trekking · 3 days / 2 nights · 🇰🇪 Kenya
Mt Kenya Naro Moru Direttissima — 3 Days
The shortest route to Point Lenana — steep, fast, and budget-friendly.
Overview
Naro Moru is the fastest and cheapest way to summit Point Lenana. The ascent through the notorious 'Vertical Bog' and onto Mackinder's Camp takes a single long day. Excellent for acclimatised trekkers tight on time, though the steep descent is hard on knees.
Not recommended as a first high-altitude trek — consider the Sirimon route instead.
Route: Nairobi → Naro Moru Gate (2,400 m) → Met Station (3,050 m) → Mackinder's (4,200 m) → Point Lenana (4,985 m) → Naro Moru Gate → Nairobi
