Piswa Trail on Mount Elgon: A Long Route to the Northern Peaks
A quieter, longer route to the northern peaks.
The Piswa trail starts on the northern flank and traverses forest and open moorland. It sees fewer trekkers than Sasa or Sipi and is suited to those who want solitude.
See Sasa, Sipi and the Wagagai trek.
