Kilimanjaro Umbwe Route
This is a steep, very direct route, leading straight to Uhuru Peak.
It is an interesting and very enjoyable route, if you can resist the temptation to gain height
to quickly. Huts on this route are in bad condition or nonexistent,
so a tent is essential.
A trek on this route usually takes five days (four nights), although an extra night (ideally at Barranco Hut) is recommended to help acclimatization.
Treks on this route usually descend by either the Mweka or the Marangu Route.
