With a little effort, we managed to identify the Mulanje Infocentre, the base of the park where to organize the trekking and hire a guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mount Mulanje is A Monadnock or Inselberg that is a mountain that emerges from a relatively flat territory, despite its altitude reaching 3000 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There are many possible treks and we have opted for a three-day and two-night journey at altitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The climb is relatively difficult: it starts from the plain and the hills planted with tea plantations and then climbs with significant slopes to the plateau on the summit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The effort, however, is definitely rewarded by incredible and breathtaking views of the surrounding plains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The route then continues with various ups and downs between arid valleys alternating with woods, streams in deep gorges, paths halfway up the slope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At night you sleep in wooden shelters equipped in a very basic way: in all there is a fireplace and wood available, cans of water &#8211; to wash if you have the courage and to cook &#8211; and some mattresses to organize a bivouac.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For trekking it is necessary to obtain, before leaving, the necessary food for the walking days. It is fundamental to remember that the cold at night is bitter even if you are in Africa: we are at high altitudes!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are our various stages in summary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Day 1: very hard stage from the tea plantations in the plains to the high plateaus with stretches of rock climbing with bare hands! First refuge for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Day 2: long stage at altitude in an endless ups and downs to the second refuge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Day 3: just as eternal stage as the first day with flat stretches and an infinite foot-breaking descent! In between: magnificent scenery, wooden shelters where we cooked and warmed ourselves by the fire of stone fireplaces, incredible starry skies at night, cold, laughter, sweat, adventure. An unforgettable experience!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s3\">If you want to read the diary of our trip this is the link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aguaplano.org\/en\/zambia-malawi-mozambico-2018\/\"><span class=\"s4\">https:\/\/www.aguaplano.org\/en\/zambia-malawi-mozambico-2018\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s5\">If you want to browse the gallery of that trip this is the link<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aguaplano.org\/en\/pictures-of-zambia-malawi-mozambique\/\"><span class=\"s4\">https:\/\/www.aguaplano.org\/en\/pictures-of-zambia-malawi-mozambique\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trekking in Malawi.
