Sherpa treks are led by friendly English speaking local guides who offer a deeper cultural understanding of Khumbu Region.

Machame Trek • 6 nights on the mountain The Machame trek is a more direct and shorter climb than the Shira and is an ideal route for aspiring climbers who only have six nights to spend on the mountain. The route has the advantage of an alpine ascent, ascending and descending the same trail on summit day. This eliminates the need to sleep in the summit crater, lessening the total number of nights needed for acclimatization. The Machame trek passes though five environmental zones and is among the most scenic areas found on the mountain, traversing under the huge hanging glaciers of Kili’s steep southern flank.
