Hanang Climbing Route
The easiest way to arrange a climb up Mount Hanang is through Bush Routes Adventures, which also offers an excellent four-day trip combining an ascent with a visit to a Barbaig community.

Katesh Route
The shortest and most popular ascent is the Katesh route, from Katesh up the southwestern ridge: five to six hours to the summit, camping at 3000m, and a three-to four-hour descent the following day. You can go up and down in one day if the physical challenge is more important than enjoyment, but do start early. Allow time to arrange transport from Babati to Katesh, and to pay the forest fee, so count on a minimum of two or three days in total.

Gendabi Route
To vary the scenery, descending via the Ngendabi route is recommended, or alternatively ascending along it and descending to Katesh. The route starts 16km (3hr) northwest from Katesh at Ngendabi village, Accommodation in Ngendabi offered informally by teachers from the primary school, but shouldn't be counted on.

Giting Route
The main alternative to the Katesh and Ngendabi routes is the Giting route, from Giting village on the northeast side of the mountain. You might need your own 4WD of the bad road, You'll also need to visit Katesh first to pay the forest fee. Accommodation along this route has been planned for years, to take advantage of the beautiful view of Lake Balangida; enquire whether this has finally happened in Babati.

Camping is possible on all routes, but you need to be fully self-sufficient; take enough water as there's none near the summit and no guarantee of any further down. Don't underestimate the mountain: it gets pretty cold at 3417m so come suitably equipped.

Ramani ya Wilaya ya Hanang

Wilaya ya Hanang imekaliwa na makabila makubwa mawili ambayo ni Wairaqw na Wabarbaig. Wabarabaig wamekuwa kivutio kikubwa sana cha watalii wa nje kutokana na tamaduni zao ambazo hazijaathiriwa sana na tamaduni za kimagharibi. Wageni wamekuwa wakivutiwa sana na mavazi ya asili ya ngozi kwa wanawake na mashuka mekundu maarufu kama migorori iliyotengenezwa kwa ustadi wa hali ya juu na kupambwa na shanga za rangi mbambali na vifungo vilivyoshonwa kwa ufundi na kuwekwa marinda maarufu kama “sapsapt”

ZIARA YA KATIBU MKUU WA CHAMA CHA MAPINDUZI TAIFA NDUGU ABRAHAMAN KINANA KATIKA ZIARA YAKE WILAYANI HANANG’ TAREHE 27/5/2014.

Katika kuhakikisha kuwa ahadi zote za chama cha mapinduzi zinatekelezwa kama zilivyoahidiwa katika ilani ya uchaguzi mwaka 2010, katibu mkuu wa chama cha mapinduzi Ndg. Abrahaman Kinana amezuru wilaya ya Hanang’ tarehe 27^th May 2014, ikiwa ni siku ya kwanza ya ziara yake ya siku saba mkoani Manyara. Katibu mkuu ameongozana katibu mwenezi wa CCM kijana machachari Nape Nauye, Mbunge wa Hanang’ na waziri wa uwekezaji na uwezeshwaji Mhe. Mary Nagu, Waziri mkuu wa zamani Mhe. Fredrick Sumaye na makada wengine wa Chama cha Mapindzi.

Akihutubia katika viwanja vya chama cha mapinduzi vilivyokuwa vimefurika watu hadi kukosa sehemu ya kusimama Ndg. Kinana aliwataka wananchi wa wilaya ya Hanang kuacha kupiga zogo za kisiasa na kufanya shughuli za maendeleo zitakazowaingizia kipato.

Akizungumza kwa msisitizo Ndg. Kinana aliwataka wananchi kuunga mkono juhudi za serikali katika kuleta maendeleo kwa kutokataa kutoa michango muhimu akitolea mfano mchango wa kujenga maabara katika shule za sekondari, na ujenzi wa hospitali, pia aliwataka wafanyabiashara kukaa na madiwani wao kama wanaona kodi ni kubwa ili wapunguziwe kwani madiwani wengi sio wafanyabiashara hivyo hawajui tamu na chungu ya biashara.

Aidha kuhusu migogoro ya ardhi ikiwemo Mashamba ya NAFCO ngd. Kinana aliahidi kuwa wawekezaji wote wanaokodisha mashamba hayo watachukuliwa kama wameshindwa kuyaendeleza na watanyang’anywa na kurudishwa kwa wananchi. Pia alisisitiza kuwa sio azma ya serikal kumpa mwekezaji moja mkubwa ili yeye awakodishie watu wengine kidogokidogo, mbunge wa wilaya Hanang’ alimuunga mkono kwa hilo kwa kusisitiza kuwa wawekezaji wote wanaokodisha mashamba hayo watanyang’anywa na kurudishwa kwa wananchi.

Na mwisho kuhusu katiba mpya Ndg. Kinana alisema muundo wa serikali hauleti vyakula mezani mwetu wala fedha mifukoni mwetu na kusisitiza kuwa CHADEMA wanataka serikali tatu kwa uchu wa madaraka tu na sio kwa kuwatakia mema watanzania, Ndg. Kinana alisisitiza kuwa chadema wanaamini kuwa zikiundwa serikali tatu, wao watashinda bara, CUF watashinda Zanzibar na CCM watachukua serikali ya tatu ya shirikisho. Aidha ndugu kinana alisema kuwa katika bunge la katiba tumeshuhudia kigeugeu cha chadema wakitaka mara kura ya wazi, mara siri, na pia kwa kipindi chote wamekuwa wakizungumzia mgawanyo wa madaraka badala ya kero za wananchi. Akiendelea kutolea ufafanuzi ndg. Kinana alisema katiba ya Tanzania imefanyiwa marekebisho mara 14 kwa kipindi cha miaka 50 tangu tupate uhuru, lakini katiba ya marekani imefanyiwa marekebisho mara saba tu kwa muda wa zaidi ya miaka 280. <swali> Je, katiba yetu ni bora kuliko ya marekani au ni kama nguo iliyochakaa kwa kupigwa viraka kila sehemu?

Baada ya hotuba nzuri ya Ngd. Kinana ailgawa mizinga 140 kwa vikundi kumi vya ujasiriamali na pia kugawa kadi kwa wana wapotevu waliorudi kundini kwa kurudisha kadi za chadema na kuchukua kadi zao mpya za CCM.
