Trip Overview

The Marangu Route is the most popular and beginner-friendly, offering a steady, gradual ascent. Known as the "Coca-Cola Route," it provides hut accommodations, making it the only route with permanent shelters along the way. This makes it ideal for those who prefer a shorter, more comfortable trek with minimal camping.
