After breakfast, you’ll begin your trek to the second high-altitude stop, Shira Camp. Today, you’ll leave the rainforest behind and, for the first time, take in the breathtaking views of the Shira Plateau ahead. The trail itself isn’t overly challenging, but the change in altitude may become noticeable, so it’s crucial to listen to your body and maintain a steady, comfortable pace. Upon reaching the camp, you’ll enjoy lunch and have some time to rest. Later, the group will take an acclimatization hike towards Lava Tower Camp, ascending 400 m /1,312 ft. Afterward, you’ll return to Shira Camp for a hot dinner.
