Which route is right for me?
| Route | Days on the mountain | Sleeping | Summit via |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemosho | 8 | Tents | Stella Point |
| Machame | 7 | Tents | Stella Point |
| Rongai | 7 | Tents | Gilman’s Point |
| Marangu | 6 | Huts | Gilman’s Point |
Many companies also sell each route one day shorter: Machame in 6 days, Lemosho in 7, Marangu in 5 and Rongai in 6. We plan the longer versions, which give your body more time to adjust to the altitude.
