The Naro Moru Route is the fastest path for trekkers aiming to reach Point Lenana (4,985m). This scenic and well-maintained trail allows climbers to summit in just four days. Unlike other routes, it features bunkhouses at each campsite, eliminating the need for a tent. The trek begins in Naro Moru town, winding through lush forests, rugged highlands, and the iconic Vertical Bog before reaching Mackinder’s Camp on the Peak Circuit Path.
