Mount Hanang

Mount Hanang rises to 3,420 meters above sea level, featuring evergreen montane forests on its eastern slopes and dry forests on its western side.

The volcanic formation dates back to the Pleistocene epoch, standing as the fourth highest peak in Tanzania after considering Kilimanjaro's three summits.

The mountain serves as a sacred site for local tribes, while its fertile volcanic soil supports agricultural communities at the lower elevations.

The Katesh Route provides the fastest access to the summit, requiring approximately five to six hours of hiking with proper mountaineering equipment.

The protected nature reserve spans 58.66 square kilometers and contains habitats for 400 bird species along remote mountain trails.
