Itinerary description
Second day : 5-6 hours walk to Halfway
Third day : 4 hours walk to Walnut Grove Hostel
Fourth day : 7 hours walk to the East and down to the main road. (I lost the track many times. Other people also get lost but took only 6 hours. )From there, I hitchhiked to Haba.
Fifth day : 2 hours walk in Haba Valley (actually, you can check on maps.me, there are many tracks starting from Haba, there is also a guesthouse in Mt Haba base camp).
My favorite part of the track was from Halfway to Walnut Grove (day 3), but you must be fit and not afraid of high. The track turns out being a via ferrata sometimes.
The easiest part of the track is from Tea Horse GH to Tina GH (what most of the people do).
If I had to the hike again, I would start directly in Tea Horse Guesthouse (from the main road to Tea Horse Guesthouse, it takes 5 hours only going up and it is not really beautiful).
So I would walk the first day from Tea Horse GH to Walnut Grove Hostel.
The second day, I would walk to Ennu village (with a guide or trying to find the way by myself, it does not look so steep or difficult) and hitchhike to Haba.
On the third day, I would walk to Haba Mount Base Camp (7 hours) and sleep there.
On the fourth day, I would go to the summit or just come back down to Haba.
Almost all the guesthouse have wifi along the way. The food prices are reasonable, so I would recommand to not carry food (less weight). You need to carry a big bottle of water because you will find water all along the way, except after Walnut Grove !
