Explore Tours
The Lemosho Route offers a pristine and less-traveled path to the Shira Plateau, renowned for its unspoiled beauty. Trekkers often utilize this route for ascending the Western Breach or seamlessly transitioning to the Kibo South Circuit leading to the Barafu Route. Unlike other routes, the initial day typically lacks wildlife sightings, and armed rangers are not required. The standard itinerary spans 7 days, with the option to extend to 8 days, including a stop at Karanga Valley.
