Day 1	Day 1 Timau is a hot but wet town that lies on the leeward side of the mountain and is well known for its large scale wheat plantation and cattle rearing. This route is very appropriate for those climbers who love camping. The first day we leave Nanyuki for Marania through Timau and into the Eboli farm. This first day gives you a chance to gradually increase attitude level s through the natural bushes and vegetation very unique but that characterizes the drier forest flora. The Marania camp gives a good view of the summit point Lenana during a clear morning.
Day 2	Day 2 We leave Marania for major’s camp. This will be a walk on long but less steep tracks. You will be able to come face to face with Zebras and elands on the safari tracks once in a while.
Day 3	Day 3 The day gives you a chance to get mountains vegetation, rocks and cold weather. This is as a result of steepy terrains from the camp to Shiptons camp that stands at an average height of 4200 meters above the sea level.via The Icemike.You also get a chance to view a skeleton of an elephant believed to have died years back.
