Itinerary description
|
We leave the Chogoria Gate and begin to gradually rise in height, mainly along a dirt track. We turn off to soak our feet in the Nithi River and descend to the waterfall of the same name. We make our way back and continue climbing until we reach Lake Ellis, at 3,450 m, where we will sleep. When we arrived the porters had already set up camp, boiled water or prepared dinner. Without his help we would not have done it. It is very cold in the evening and the doormen light a bonfire, we join in and sing and dance. On this trip, keep in mind that it is very cold in the evening and you must bring a suitable sleeping bag to be comfortable at -5 / -10 degrees Celsius.
