A hike through Pare Mountains takes visitors through local villages and beautiful forests, and offers an opportunity to explore roads less traveled. On the top of Northern Pare Mountains to Kindoroko Forest reserve, Hikes through the mountains can be a day to multi-day trip and can also be combined with a trip to Mkomazi National Park and Lake Jipe.
Access to the North Pare Mountains is available through the town of Mwanga, which is located 55 km (35 mi) to the southeast of Moshi. From there, a sandy road leads visitors to Usangi village in the heart of the mountain range.
There are 11 peaks that surround the village, most of which offer ample adventure opportunities for hikers in the area. The Kindoroko Trail is a particularly popular option in the region as it leads visitors through a forest reserve where hikers will be able to spot monkeys and a wide variety of birds. Along all of the main trekking routes in the North Pare Mountains, hikers can enjoy impressive vantage points that let you see well-known features like Lake Jipe and even Kilimanjaro when it–s not hidden in the clouds.
Some of the most popular day trips in this part of the range include hikes to the Mangatu Moorland, visits to Goma Hill where Pare chiefs traditionally dug caves to hide from rival tribes and colonial powers, or treks to the summit of Kindoroko (2100 m/6890 ft), Hike between the villages, Trek in the Eucalyptus forest, Visit the Usangi market and Bird watching.
