Stunning Walk Over Three Days
Tongariro Northern Circuit的点评
点评：We are a 50 something couple from the UK who love our walking.
This is one of the finest we have done … a beautiful trek (tramp) through stunning scenery (if the weather holds). Each day is very different.
The walk can be completed comfortably in three days - or very comfortably in four days. It’s a 45k round loop climbing about 1300m in total and superbly way marked so that it is virtually impossible to lose your way - even if the cloud comes down.
We had booked three “huts” to stay in for the night on the route. The huts are mountain accommodation : you arrive - choose a bunk and wait to see who chooses the bunk or mattress next to you. The huts are basic, but warm, very clean and have gas rings for you to cook. But no pots or pans etc. So you bring all food, cooking utensils, sleeping bags etc with you. Which for a 3-4 day hike is a good deal of stuff. Good “drop” loos. No showers - and all water that you use there has to be boiled. We really enjoyed the hut experience because you get to meet some lovely people - all nationalities - in the middle of nowhere.
The downside is that you are sleeping next to people you don’t know. And some of them snore. So be sure to take ear plugs!
We did the walk clockwise from Whakapapa. You arrive at the visitor centre, sign in and they tell you where to park your car.
The first hut was Mangatepopo Hut. About 4 hours (9.5k) of easy trekking. I would recommend staying at this hut first because it means that you are right at the start of the most popular section of the walk for Day 2: the Alpine Crossing. This bit of the walk is open to day trippers - who access it via shuttle busses - and hence if you are on the walk between 0800 and 0900 you are likely to be surrounded by 100s of people. We started out from our hut at first light - about 0630 - and had the Alpine crossing to ourselves which was really worth it.
The Alpine crossing is tough in places … both ascent and descent … but OMG what stunning scenery.
We had partial cloud cover - so we missed some of the best views. But if you go and it is clear - you will have the very best day ever.
From here we walked to Oturere Hut - arriving at about lunch time. In retrospect, we should not have booked this hut (missed it out completely) … and carried on for a further 2-3 hours to Waihohonu Hut - and stayed there. It would have been easily doable as a day walk. Oturere Hut is OK … a lovely stunning location, but small and quite crowded.
On Day 3 - we decided that we were up for the 23k walk back from Oturere Hut to Whakapapa - which meant that we missed out on our night at Waihohonu Hut. We left Oturere Hut at 0645 and arrived at Waihohonu Hut en route at 0900. This is a lovely hut (the best of the four we have experienced on this trip).
We stopped here and made a cuppa before …
.. continuing on to the end of the walk (15k) and very easy terrain - so easily doable. Having left at 0645 we arrived back at Whakapapa at about 1400 - with stops en route.
In summary - fantastic walk, easily doable in 3 days - and worth missing out Oturere Hut in my view.

翻译：我们是来自英国的一对 50 多岁的夫妇，他们喜欢散步。
这是我们做过的最好的一次……一次美丽的跋涉（流浪汉）穿越迷人的风景（如果天气好的话）。每一天都是非常不同的。
步行可以在三天内舒适地完成——或者非常舒适地在四天内完成。这是一个 45k 的圆形环路，总共攀登约 1300 米，道路标记非常好，因此几乎不可能迷路 - 即使云层下降。
我们已经预订了三个“小屋”在路上过夜。小屋是山区住宿：您到达 - 选择一个床位，然后等着看谁选择了您旁边的床位或床垫。小屋很简单，但很温暖，非常干净，有煤气灶供您做饭。但是没有锅碗瓢盆等。所以你要带上所有的食物、炊具、睡袋等。对于 3-4 天的徒步旅行来说，这是一件很划算的事情。好的“掉落”厕所。没有淋浴 - 你在那里使用的所有水都必须煮沸。我们真的很喜欢小屋体验，因为你会在偏僻的地方遇到一些可爱的人 - 所有国籍。
缺点是您睡在不认识的人旁边。他们中的一些人打鼾。所以一定要带上耳塞！
我们从 Whakapapa 顺时针方向步行。你到达游客中心，签到，他们会告诉你把车停在哪里。
第一个小屋是 Mangatepopo 小屋。大约 4 小时 (9.5k) 的轻松徒步旅行。我建议先入住这间小屋，因为这意味着您正处于第 2 天最受欢迎的步行路段的起点：阿尔卑斯山十字路口。这条步道对一日游者开放——他们通过穿梭巴士进入——因此如果你在 0800 和 0900 之间走，你可能会被数百人包围。黎明时分，我们从我们的小屋出发——大约 0630——我们穿越了阿尔卑斯山，这真的很值得。
阿尔卑斯山的穿越在某些地方很艰难……无论是上升还是下降……但是天啊，多么迷人的风景。
我们有部分云层覆盖 - 所以我们错过了一些最佳景观。但如果你去了，那就很清楚了——你将度过最美好的一天。
从这里我们步行到 Oturere Hut - 大约在午餐时间到达。回想起来，我们不应该预订这个小屋（完全错过了）……然后再继续 2-3 小时到达 Waihohonu 小屋 - 并留在那里。作为一天的步行，这本来是很容易做到的。 Oturere Hut 还可以……一个可爱的令人惊叹的位置，但小而且非常拥挤。
第 3 天 - 我们决定准备步行 23 公里从 Oturere Hut 返回 Whakapapa - 这意味着我们错过了在 Waihohonu Hut 的夜晚。我们在 0645 离开 Oturere Hut，并在 0900 到达途中的 Waihohonu Hut。这是一个可爱的小屋（我们在这次旅行中体验过的四个小屋中最好的一个）。
我们在这里停了下来，然后喝了一杯茶……
.. 继续步行到终点（15k）和非常简单的地形 - 很容易做到。在 0645 离开后，我们于 1400 左右返回华卡帕帕 - 途中停靠。
总而言之 - 很棒的步行，3 天内轻松完成 - 在我看来值得错过 Oturere Hut。
