Mount Meru

Mount Meru is most similar to Kilimanjaro’s Marangu Route, as both are non-technical treks that offer hut accommodations and a challenging steep midnight summit push. However, Meru is generally shorter, less demanding, and considered easier, making it an ideal option for trekkers who want a high-altitude mountain experience without committing to the full length or difficulty of Kilimanjaro. Like Marangu, it passes through diverse landscapes, including forests, moorlands, and volcanic terrain, offering stunning scenery and excellent acclimatization for those aiming for Kilimanjaro afterward.
