DAY 13_1 | BLOG 15 | Throwback To Kilimanjaro With Milasha Joseph

Patrick brought me Milo and washy washy at 6 am and asked me to get ready.  At 7 am I had the breakfast  bread,eggs and  plenty of fruits.

Horambo hut - Kibo hut

Altitude : 4700 m/15420 ft

Distance: 10 km/6 miles

Hiking Time: 5-8 hours

Habitat: Alpine Desert


Today's stage is long and arduous. Walking onto the Kilimanjaro saddle between the peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi after passing the last watering site. As we enter the desert-like alpine zone, the vegetation thins down, and the Kibo peak comes into view as we cross the saddle. Around 12.30 p.m., we arrived at Kibo hut and had lunch there. Now I can sense the increase in altitude. Dinner was served early.  We will experience an emotional roller coaster as your altitude rises. My guide awoke me at 11 p.m. to get me ready for the summit push, which begins at 12 a.m.
