Additional Information

Umbwe route is the steepest and shortest route that has a well-deserved reputation of being the most challenging route on Mount Kilimanjaro. The first two days are extremely steep, muddy and generally making it suitable for well-trained hikers. The rapid ascent on the first day with minimal time for getting used to the altitude is offset by the awe-inspiring, wide-ranging views. Upon reaching Barranco Camp, the path veers to the east and skirts along Kilimanjaro’s southern loop before the climb to the summit from Barafu. We offer an 8-day journey suitable for climbers with advanced high-altitude trekking expertise.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Himalayan Glaciers Kilimanjaro team: EXCELLENT ! - My sons and I are incredibly grateful to the team at Himalayan Glaciers for their caring and professional ways. Their smiles, songs and encouragement went beyond the call of duty. In particular, Frumence Malya and Innocent Mtui, our two guides gave us strength during the entire ascent. They were incredibly supportive even when one of us faced altitude sickness. I would highly recommend them as well as their team of porters. Our meals were delicious and prepared by Hardson Richard, an awesome chef. In all, we accomplish our goal in 6 glorious days. We were extremely happy with our accomplishment, but without the team, this would not have been possible.

The reason we have chosen this company in the United State, they have Personalize arrangement, flexible departure and most importantly their departure is always guarantee even if you are alone or just two of you. They have local team of professional guides, support staffs and cooks which support local economy and help to increase the employment in the region. We are planning Everest Base Camp Climb in 2021 as soon as COVID-19 stop with Himalayan Glacier, definitely it is going to be our another memorable adventure in the Himalaya. Gary & Susan
