I Hiked All 19,341 Feet Up Mount Kilimanjaro - Here's What It's Like
Briefly

Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain globally, attracts thousands of climbers annually. The trek, which can last from five to nine days, presents multiple challenges, including altitude sickness. The journey begins in the Cultivation Zone and proceeds through various ecological climates, enhancing the climber's experience. In the Montane Forest Zone, trekkers can enjoy lush biodiversity and unique wildlife while savoring delicious meals prepared by their crew. The trek is both strenuous and rewarding, providing memories that last a lifetime, particularly through its diverse environmental landscapes.
I was one of the climbers experiencing the breathtaking ecological zones that Kilimanjaro offers. Each zone added a distinct flavor to the challenging trek.
Climbing Kilimanjaro requires not just physical endurance but also crucial acclimatization to combat altitude sickness, which many climbers face during their journey.
