FIVE DAYS AND FOUR NIGHTS ON THE TIMAU ROUTE

Length: 12km Time: 6 hours Ascent: 700m Accommodation: West Marania campsite (3000m) Today we walk leisurely to the high altitude West Marania roadhead. We walk slowly to acclimatise to the altitude. The route is open heathland and we have the chance of seeing some unique mountain wildlife. One thing we are unlikely to see is another group as we are now definitely off the main track. We arrive at our stunning mountain stream campsite and relax in the beauty of the mountain.

Length: 9km Time: 2 hours Descent: 675m A gentle walk to the park gate where you are collected by your vehicles at around 11.00am.
