Tongariro Northern Circuit

The Tongariro Northern Circuit, one of the New Zealand Great Walks, offers a three- to four-day tramp through Tongariro National Park New Zealand.

Highlighted by the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a full day of awe-inspiring landscapes, The entire trail spans a 50-kilometre (31 mi) around Mount Ngauruhoe.

A fourth hut, Ketetahi, was damaged in the 2012 eruption and is now only a day shelter.
