5 days Naro Moru Route
This is most popular of all the routes that lead up to the park areas. It is the steepest and the fastest way up the mountain and ascends the mountain from the west. The route is not particularly scenic but has some of the best tourist accommodations.
Most climbers begin hiking at the park gate, although it is possible to drive a vehicle as far as the Met station (3050 metres). Among the challenges in this route include the vertical bog and the extremely steep trail on looses gravel while going up to Point Lenana.
