Chogoria climbs Mount Kenya from the east and is widely held to be the most beautiful route on the mountain: the Nithi Falls, Lake Ellis, the Gorges Valley, Lake Michaelson beneath The Temple, and Minto’s Hut set in an amphitheatre of cliffs below the peaks. Three itineraries begin here — an out-and-back to Point Lenana, or a traverse descending the Sirimon or Naro Moru side. Pick the one that fits your days and your pace.
