Point Lenana Climbing and Mount Kenya Trekking Tours
Compare Point Lenana trekking tours on Mount Kenya with Sirimon, Chogoria, Naro Moru, Timau and route-combination summit itineraries.
Point Lenana at a Glance
Point Lenana is Mount Kenya’s best-known non-technical trekking summit at approximately 4,985 metres. It is reached on foot rather than through technical rock climbing, but altitude, cold, changing weather and long trekking days still require preparation.
Point Lenana trekking tours can use Sirimon, Chogoria, Naro Moru or Timau, and many itineraries combine two routes to give travellers different scenery during the ascent and descent.
Choose a route that fits your schedule
Sirimon is popular for a more gradual approach, Chogoria for lakes and dramatic scenery, Naro Moru for a more direct approach and Timau for a quieter wilderness experience.
Allow time for acclimatization
Point Lenana altitude is significant even though the summit is non-technical. A sensible multi-day itinerary can help reduce the pressure of gaining elevation too quickly.
Consider a route combination
Point Lenana Sirimon and Chogoria combinations are popular because trekkers experience two different sides of Mount Kenya in one journey.

Point Lenana96 HoursPlanning a Point Lenana Summit Trek
A guided Point Lenana trek is suitable for trekkers who want a high-altitude summit objective without the technical climbing required for Batian or Nelion. Reasonable fitness, warm clothing and preparation for altitude remain important.
The best route to Point Lenana depends on the experience you want. A Point Lenana Sirimon route itinerary can emphasize a gradual northern approach, while a Point Lenana Chogoria route itinerary can emphasize alpine scenery and lakes.
Point Lenana from Nairobi can be organized as part of a private itinerary with travel to the relevant access point. The total trip length should account for both mountain days and the time needed to reach the trailhead.
