Benefits of being mountkenya on mount Kenya chogoria route.
- 1:whether it’s weight loss (because the body works harder at altitude, so it is said you actually lose weight just by standing still on the mountain, and I frequently lose a few pounds per week when I’m there),
- 2:fresh environment, the chance to breathe in some fresh mountain air, the healthy diet and lack of available beer
- 3:and just the lack of everyday stresses that afflict you back home
