Overview
The Shira Route is one of the least populated routes on Mount Kilimanjaro, and it offers a beautiful and scenic climb up the mountain. This route begins on the west side of the mountain, and it approaches the summit from the Shira Plateau. The Shira Route is a great option for those looking for a slightly more challenging climb than the Marangu or Rongai routes, but without the technical difficulty of the Western Breach Route or the Northern Circuit Route.
