It offers hut accommodations at each camp, providing a more comfortable and less gear-intensive climb. The route features a diverse range of landscapes, from lush rainforests and moorlands to alpine deserts and the arctic summit zone, making it a visually captivating journey. Typically completed in 5 to 6 days, it is one of the shortest routes to the summit, appealing to those with time constraints.
The route's well-defined trail and gradual ascent profile make it accessible to trekkers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced hikers. Its popularity is further boosted by the scenic beauty and varying landscapes encountered along the way.
