Travel Guide: Mumbai to Mount Kenya
For India's growing trekking community, Mount Kenya offers a high-altitude experience that's closer and more affordable than Himalayan alternatives. Direct flights from Mumbai take just 5.5 hours. The mountain provides genuine 4,985m altitude exposure — excellent preparation for future Himalayan expeditions. Kenya's large Indian community means familiar food, culture, and even language support are readily available.
