DESCRIPTION:
For Whom: Experienced climbers seeking a scenic but shorter trek.
The Shira Route is similar to Lemosho but begins at a higher altitude, making it better suited for seasoned trekkers. It offers stunning views of the Shira Plateau and Western Breach, but the quick start at high altitude can be challenging for those unprepared. Ideal for experienced climbers who want spectacular scenery without a longer itinerary.
