Kilimanjaro summit : climb above the clouds

Reached the Uhuru (kilimanjaro) summit on 7th july along with a friend Prakash Dasot (Patel hall, IIT KGP). we summited on the full moon day and the weather all through the days of climb/trek was excellent. We had best views of sun set and sun rise at different camps. we took machame route and did in 6 days. I didn't miss the opportunity of taking pics of flowers and "colabus monkey" and blue monkey very native to kilimanjaro.

Most of the trek/climb was like "Above the sea of clouds" while Mt. Meru hung in the middle of the clouds as though watching the drama on Kilimanjaro..

Planing to explore Zanzibar Islands (Pemba, Unguja(Zanzibar) and Mafia Islands) and some safaries (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara lake etc).

thanks for your wishes.

Malli.
