Itinerary description
Tongariro National Park
CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND
This changelling trip begins at 1120m, climbs the Mangatepopo Valley to the saddle between Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe, through South Crater, the highest point on the crossing at 1886m.
You will then descend on a volcanic rock scree track to the vivid Emerald Lakes, known as Nga Rotopounamu. After passing Blue Lake, also known as Te Wai Whakaata o Te Rangihiroa, the track sidles around the northern slope of Tongariro, then descends in a zigzag track past Ketetahi Shelter and down to the road end at 760m.
