Description
The lush green forests and U-shaped valleys of Sirimon are unique features of the temple. The Sirimon route is on the drier side of the mountain, which offers some of the finest walking. Climbing up through the forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area, the route starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki Town. Access is adequate, and the bunkhouse facilities are the best on this side of the mountain.
