Lemosho and Shira are other excellent options. Your journey begins with a briefing and gear check. Subsequently, you will trek through varied landscapes. These include rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and arctic summit zones. Porters carry your main luggage. This allows you to focus on the ascent.
