There is also optional acclimatization day at Horombo huts, this acclimatization is suggested for climbers with no previous mountain trekking experience. The route starts from the park headquarters in the village of Marangu and heads straight westwards towards Kibo. The trail goes through lush rain-forest, heath and moorland to alpine desert and ultimately the arctic zone at the peak and same route down.
