Northern Circuit
The longest route, circling the mountain with the best time to adapt.
Overview
The Northern Circuit follows the Lemosho route over the Shira Plateau, then curves around the northern slopes before the summit climb. It is the longest and most gradual route, and gives your body the most time to adjust to altitude.
It is also the quietest route, with fewer people on the path.
Highlights
- Longest, most gradual route
- Most time to adapt to altitude
- Few other trekkers
Who it suits
