After resting and acclimatizing, we will continue our hike to 3,600 metres (11,811 ft) to admire the Nelion and Batian peaks, two significant summits of Mount Kenya.

Once we capture photographs, we will begin our descent to the camp, where we will enjoy a picnic lunch. Following the meal, we will continue our descent to Sirimon Gate. The minibus will be ready to take us back to Nairobi.
