Umbwe Route on Mount Kilimanjaro
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via The Umbwe Route
This route is the steepest with the shortest and most direct routes to the Southern Glaciers, Western Breach and Uhuru Peak. It is probably the most scenic, non-technical route on Kilimanjaro. However it is quite taxing, primarily due to the relatively fast ascent to higher altitude, but the rewards are plentiful. Very steep route best suited to experienced trekkers.

This route is not used much. The Umbwe route is only suitable for people with extensive mountain climbing experience.
 Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Umbwe Route in 6 days is an ambitious endeavor due to the steep and challenging nature of the route and the need for adequate acclimatization.
