Here are pictures from our biggest accomplishment in our lives, Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro (or Kilima Njaro, which means "shining mountain" in Swahili), is a mountain in northeastern Tanzania. Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the world, rising 4600 metres (15,000 ft) from the base, and includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres (19,340 ft).

There are five main routes to the top -- Marangu, Shira, Mweka, Umbwe and Machame. The most popular route is the Marangu Route which starts at the Marangu Gate at 6000 ft. and has huts and facilities along the way. There are 3 huts on the Marangu route. Mandara, Harombo and Kibo. At Mandara and Harombo, there are a group of wooden A-framed huts. Each hut features 6-8 sleeping bunks with solar generated lighting. Water is piped into the camp from springs above and there are flush toilets behind the main hut.

We have several videos from our hike, including pictures. Radhika narrates at the background and you can tell she is out of breadth due to the altitude. Check them out
