Depart from Nairobi at 07300hrs, driving through agricultural country up to Chogoria town for lunch and connect with your crew. After lunch, we drive up to Chogoria Forest Gate using a 4 x4 landrover (approximately 22km through the forest). After registration at the gate, we begin our trek on a muddy trail through the beautiful Hargenia forest, past a fisheries station, to get to the moorland. we will head back toward Road End camp and take a detour toward Lake Ellis. Prepare to be enchanted by the glittering blue-green reflections of the late-afternoon sun on Lake Ellis against the beautiful back drop of the Hindu Valley. You may as well try your luck fishing by the shore if you bring your fishing equipment with you. Later on, enjoy a quiet evening by the bonfire as you have dinner and recount your experiences so far. Distance: - 7.5 – 9km Max elevation gain:- 600m

After breakfast, we set out on our journey through the heather and moorland to Camp Mintos on a relatively steep trail. Expect breathtaking views all along the way. We continue our trek through a rocky, steep stretch. Altitude sickness symptoms may start appearing at this point; therefore, we will maintain a very moderate pace the rest of the way. If heights don’t scare you, you will have the opportunity to catch a beautiful glimpse of the entire Lake Michaelson from the top of the cliff. After 4 kms walk you will have your lunch on the way carefully prepared by our professional chef.

Two more hours, and we reach our destination, Camp Mintos. Here, you will give your feet a well- deserved break by letting them breathe. Feel free to slip on your sandals or walk on bare feet around the beautiful Mintos Tarn. Later, we will have our dinner and retire early in readiness for conquering ourselves at the summit early in the morning. Distance: - 9km Max elevation gain:- 800m

After breakfast, begin a 5-hour descent via Mackinder`s valley to the Judmiere camp. (3,300m) The descent is gentle and it offers ample time to enjoy fascinating scenery which includes the moorlands before reaching the camp. Dinner and overnight at judmiere camp/Old Moses Camp.
