Kilimanjaro Trek 2022-2023 via Umbwe route for 6 days itinerary
Explore Kilimanjaro Trek 2022-2023 via Umbwe route for 6 days itinerary with ZOOM TOURS Umbwe hiking route has a well-deserved reputation of being the most challenging route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Due to the fast gain in elevation to high altitude, this route does not provide the necessary stages for acclimatization. Although the number of people on this trail is very low, the chances of success are also low. Umbwe is considered to be very difficult, taxing route - one that should only be attempted by strong and experienced hikers who are confident in their ability to acclimatize quickly to altitude. On this route, approaching from the South direction, the Umbwe route is a short, steep and direct climb. After reaching Barranco campsite, the trail turns East and traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent from summit is made via the Mweka route.
