Ethical selection is essential for a successful and responsible trek.

The trek up the great mountain via the western approach leads hikers through lush woodlands, vast moorland, and otherworldly alpine desert. Animals such as primates, buck, and exotic birds can often be observed.

It is important to note that some companies uphold ethical standards. Certain offer quick trips that neglect adequate acclimatisation and could underpay their local staff. Conducting thorough investigation to select a reputable operator that ensures excellent pay, adequate kit, and training for its team is paramount.
