It is more secluded and arguably more attractive as a newer route, but it is also significantly longer and more expensive. It was developed as an alternative to the Shira route and begins on the western side of the mountain at the Londorossi Gate, which is a long drive from town.
On day 3, it crosses the Shira Plateau to connect with the Machame Route at Lava Tower and descend to Barranco Valley via the Southern Circuit after passing through spectacular woods and moorlands. You might see buffalo, elephants, and other animals if you're lucky. This route has a better summit success rate since it may be done over a longer period of time for acclimatization.
