<h2>The Lengei Trail starts from the north, or Kenyan side of Mount Kilimanjaro. Since the north side of the mountain is less inhabited and less touristy, hikers will experience unspoilt wilderness and may see large wildlife such as antelope, elephants, and buffalo.</h2><h2>The Lengei route, although flatter than other routes on Kilimanjaro, does not offer hikers the opportunity to climb high and sleep low, making it difficult for hikers to get used to. So the Lungai route can be climbed in six days, but hikers are strongly advised to take seven to eight days to experience this beautiful trail to give their bodies more time to adapt.</h2><h2>With less rainfall on Mount Kilimanjaro's north side, hikers are more likely to see clear, cloudless views of Uhuru Peak.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Lengai route map (blue line uphill, red line downhill)</h2><h2>The route starts on the northern (Kenyan) side of Mount Kilimanjaro [still no need for another visa in Tanzania]. The way to the summit is via Gilman Point on the east side of Uhuru Peak. Descend along the Marangu route.</h2><p></p><h2>Lenge altitude profile</h2><h2>Schematic showing the altitude profile of the six-day Lengei route. Making the 7-day trek, climbers spend additional acclimatization time at Mwenzi Tarn before continuing on the 6-day journey.</h2><p></p><h1><strong>Other hiking routes</strong></h1><h2><strong>Marangu line</strong></h2><p>The most classic: Marangu (Coca-Cola) Marangu Line</p><p>Recommended number of climbing days: 7 days</p><p>The Marangu Line, also known as the Coca-Cola Line, is the most classic route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. As you can roughly guess from the name Coca-Cola Line, this is a very easy route. Among the seven climbing routes, the Coca-Cola Route is the only one with resting spots along the way, and there are cabins available for rent at the resting spots.</p><p>However, the success rate of Coca-Cola Line summit is not high! Only about 50%. The reason is that the first 4 days of this route are very easy, but the difficulty increases sharply on the last day. Many people will suffer from altitude sickness, and finally have to regretfully leave the course just one step away from success.</p><p>Classic level: five stars</p><p>Difficulty: three stars</p><p>Scenery: three stars</p><p>Newbie friendliness: five stars</p><h2><strong>Machame line</strong></h2><p>Machame (Whiskey) Machame Line</p><p>Recommended number of climbing days: 7 days</p><p>The Matcham Line is currently a popular mountain climbing route, also known as the "Whiskey Line". This line is like whiskey, slightly spicy, but not difficult to drink. After one glass, it will have a long aftertaste.</p><p>Compared with the "Coca-Cola" route, the "Whiskey" route is longer and steeper, and takes an extra day to climb. Generally speaking, this line is suitable for people with some hiking and hiking experience to climb. If you think the Coca-Cola Line is too difficult, you can try this route.</p><p>The best thing about the Whiskey Route is that the change from tropical rainforest to plateau is more intuitive. At the same time, although the downhill route on the fourth day is a bit longer, it will help climbers fully adapt to the plateau climate and avoid severe altitude sickness on the last day.</p><p>Classic level: four stars</p><p>Difficulty: four stars</p><p>Scenery: five stars</p><p>Newbie friendliness: four stars</p><p>Is it suitable to climb during the rainy season: Not suitable</p><h2><strong>Lemosho line</strong></h2><p>Lemosho Line</p><p>Recommended climbing days: 8 days</p><p>The scenery on the Lemosau Line is the most beautiful among all the lines. Starting from the west side of Mount Kilimanjaro, the first two days of the journey are spent in the tropical rain forest of Sala Peak; then the altitude gradually becomes higher and the route changes to go up the mountain along the southern foot, where you can enjoy the vast and boundless scenery below the mountain. Tanzanian savannah; finally entering the mountain top stage, the surrounding scenery will turn into white snow, like a fairyland.</p><p>But the difficulty is slightly higher than the Longgai Route, and about the same as the Whiskey Route. Generally speaking, it takes 8 days to climb the Lemosau line. Once you have enough time to adapt to the plateau environment, you won’t feel too strenuous when you reach the top. It is a favorite of many European and American tourists.</p><p>Classic level: five stars</p><p>Difficulty: four stars</p><p>Scenery: five stars</p><p>Newbie friendliness: five stars</p><h2><strong>Suitable for all ages: Rongai Line</strong></h2><p>The most casual: Rongai Line</p><p>Recommended number of climbing days: 7 days</p><p>This route is slightly less difficult than the Whiskey Route and is a leisure route. The entry point into the mountain is in Kenya, so there are fewer people and the scenery is original.</p><p>In addition, because this route is located at the northern foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, it will not be affected by too much humid airflow from the southern Indian Ocean. Even in the rainy season, this route can enter the mountain.</p><p>Classic level: four stars</p><p>Difficulty: four stars</p><p>Scenery: four stars</p><p>Newbie friendliness: four stars</p><h2><strong>Toughest: Umbwe Line</strong></h2><p>The Ongbei Route is the shortest route to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The most unique feature is that it is steep! If you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro from this route, professional equipment, strong physique, strong psychological quality, and rich experience are all indispensable. But even if you take every precaution, you still have to be mentally prepared for failure.</p><p>However, for professional climbers, the challenge is the fun of mountain climbing.</p><h2><strong>Longest: Northern Circuit</strong></h2><p>Longest: Northern Circuit</p><p>Recommended climbing days: 9 days</p><p>The Northern Route is the longest, newest and least-known route on Mount Kilimanjaro. The biggest purpose of opening this route is to enjoy the scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro. Because it will pass through many inaccessible places, you will see scenery that people who take other routes cannot see.</p><p>But this route also requires a long time in the mountains, requiring 9 days. So before choosing this route, you need to think about whether you are willing to spend 9 days in an inaccessible mountain, and whether you have such a long vacation. However, because of this, everyone is given enough time to adapt to the environment on the mountain. On the contrary, the success rate of climbing to the top of this line is extremely high.</p><h2><strong>Preparation before departure</strong></h2><h2><strong>Equipment</strong></h2><p>Everyone in Wall Crack made a detailed list of climbing and prepared accordingly.
