The Naro Moru route is the fastest and therefore also the most popular route onto the mountain, being used by many of the tour and outfitting companies guiding clients up to point Lenana. The route is quite scenic, with lots of mountain vegetation and memorable mountain experience. As climbers descend mount Kenya through Naro-moru route, they get a clear picture of the difference between these two routes owing to the fact that they are not similar.
