One of the most exciting and unique trekking experience on the Kilimanjaro is offered by this new route. Breathtaking varied scenery and almost offering a 360 degrees view of the whole mountain. This relatively new route experiences just a handful of climbers. Making it the least visited.
Being the longest route in distance and time, it yet comes with the added acclimatization benefits which results it having the highest success rate.
This exciting route approaches the mountain from the Western side via the Lemosho route however instead of traversing it towards the southern side to the direction of Lava tower like the Machame and Lemosho routes, it deviates around the mountain towards the northern side which is the least visited part of the mountain. The summit is attempted via the Kibo base camp or School Hut and the trail down is via Mweka camp.
Mega Adventures offers the Northern circuit trek in 9 days. With the start from the Lemosho gate which is preceded by a long 3-4 Hrs drive from Moshi. This route is highly recommended.
