This route is popular for its fast ascent; the altitude gain on this route is good and steady. This route offers one of the most stunning approaches to the peaks, as it passes through striking yellow wood forests in low altitudes and features gorgeous alpine scenery and abundant wildlife as you ascend. One can reach Lenana peak within 2 nights, although an extra night is recommended at the Shipton’s camp.
