The Route is known as the "Coca-Cola Route" due to its relatively comfortable hut accommodations. Marangu Route is considered one of the easier routes because it has a gentler gradient, making it more accessible for those who are less experienced with high-altitude trekking. It’s often recommended for beginners. The route typically takes 5 to 6 days to complete, which is shorter than many other routes that might take 7 to 9 days. This shorter duration can be appealing to those with limited time

Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our joureny to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek.
