英文原文

There are eight public entrances into Mount Kenya National Park: Naro Moru, Sirimon and Chogoria Gates on the east, northeast and west side being the most popular. Sirimon Route 28 km from Nanyuki town launches at the Sirimon Gate 2600 ms (8530 feet) ASL and is about 25 km in length to Lenana Peak. This is the most popular starting-point and perhaps the most scenic trail, which is also fairly navigable as it passes on the leeward (drier) side with firm underfoot. Old Moses Camp, Liki North Camp, Shiptons Camp are the primary camps along this route.

Once through the gate, it’s a wondrous walk through the moorlands and gallery forests to Old Moses Camp at 3300 ms and the first overnight stop. Beautiful landscapes and panoramic views enroute the short hike, taking 3 to 4 hrs and gaining in elevation 680 ms on a moderate gradient. Day 2, leaving Old Moses Camp, the trail returns to the moorlands with switchbacks in alpine heath, past the splendid Mackinders Valley, before reaching Shiptons Camp at 4200 ms, the second night’s stop. Day 2 is long days climb of 14 km covered in about 7 hours.

Although subject to preference, Day 3 is traditionally a rest day at Shiptons Camp and a useful way to acclimatize and inspirit the beauty of the mountain before the push to Point Lenana. Day 4 kicks-off early, at 3:00 am, on a 3-hours hike to Point Lenana at 4985 ms. The route goes up a steep frozen scree then on past Hall Tarn. Mount Kenya Bandas are the layover on Day 4 on the descent. Day 5 is an easy 10 km descent via Chogoria trail to Chogoria town on the east side of Mount Kenya.

“You hike through open heather and moorland before descending into the picturesque Mackinder’s Valley. Arriving at Shipton’s Base Camp take in the stunning mountain panorama around you. A shorter but steep ascent passing Batian to your right gets you to Point Lenana at 4895m and the impressive views across the Mount Kenya massive will open up below you. You descend via the beautiful Chogoria Route with its gurgling streams and enchanting forest”.
