There are several park gates in our area, mostly used for setting off up our incredible mountain, but some for nice day walks

Mount Kenya has three main peaks and the two larger peaks of Batian (5199m) and Nelion (5188m) are both technical climbs, however the third peak, Point Lenana (4,985m) is a trekking peak. If you regularly trek in hills and mountains then you'll already be well equipped to climb Mount Kenya, but it shouldn't be underestimated as both the landscape and summit routes are challenging so you need to attempt it with a good guide and support team, ensure that you have the correct equipment, eat well and drink lots of fluids so that by the time you reach the higher camps you’ll be well acclimatised to the lower levels of oxygen in the air, hydrated and full of energy ready to summit. Calculate 4-5 days for the summit. If you don’t have the time or energy then a day hike is also a great option to experience the serene nature of Mount Kenya! Depending on the route you chose there are different gates to get into the reserve and up. The most popular is the Sirimon Gate between Nanyuki and Timau. Closest to us is the Naro Moru Gate.

The chogoria gate to Mt Kenya is exactly 15km from chuka. Its the shortest yet most scenic route to Mt Kenya. Magnificent view and easy access. Local tour guides are available at very friendly rates.
