The Shira route is a path that approaches Kilimanjaro from the west,
and is nearly identical to the Lemosho route. In fact, Shira was the
original route and Lemosho is the improved variation.
While Lemosho starts at Londorossi Gate and treks
through the rain forest to Shira 1 Camp, the Shira route bypasses this
walk by using a vehicle to transport climbers to Shira Gate, located
near the Shira Ridge.
