Mount Kenya climbing through Sirimon route is the easiest route trekking to Point Lenana. This route has more spectacular scenery, greater flexibility and a gentler rate of ascent; although it is still easy to climb fast.
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.
Though Mount Kenya summit can be reached in 4 days as per the below itinerary, we strongly recommend an overnight acclimatization at the base in Nanyuki Town. This can be arranged for at an extra fee.
