The Ultimate Six-Peak Nyandarua Challenge
From KSh 5,600
The Ultimate Six-Peak Nyandarua Challenge follows the Northern Nyandarua Crescent Circuit. It then packs your resilience with the addition of Rhino Hill.
The hike starts at Geta Bushi and quickly diverts to the right past the forest gate. It follows to the valley where the ascent to Kanyundo Peak begins. Kanyundo Peak is the gateway to the open moorlands where we will proceed straight before diverting right and descending to Maratini Hill Summit.
After a summit moment, we will ascend to Rurimueria and then cross to the Seven Ponds for yet another view of the magical tarns. We will then head to Rhino Hill and finally descend through Table Mountain to Mikeu Shopping Center.
Is your hiking life interesting enough or you have been waiting for such a challenge?
