ABOUT Kilimanjaro Umbwe Route: Steep & Direct 6-Day Hike for Experienced Trekkers
Umbwe route is the shortest of all routes in terms of the distance you travel to the top of Kilimanjaro. Therefore, the increase in altitude per day is very high. You hike steep through the valley and directly up to the summit. Because this is so extreme and demands a lot from your body, it is also known as the “Double Whiskey Route”. The route is only suitable for climbers who have already been at a comparable altitude and know how their body reacts to such an extreme increase in altitude.
