Hiking the Kepler Track | New Zealands Great Walks | Episode 2

New Zealand's Great Walks are premier tracks that pass through diverse and spectacular scenery. From native forests, lakes and rivers. to rugged mountain peaks, deep gorges and vast valleys, from coastline to alpine...there's a Great Walk for everyone!
The tracks are maintained to a high standard, making it easier for visitors to explore some of the most scenic parts of New Zealand's backcountry. This is Episode 2 of our Great Walks series: The Kepler Track

The Kepler Track is 60 KM loop starting from Te Anau, New Zealand. The Track is generally hiked over 3-4 days and can be hiked in either direction.
This awe-inspiring track was carefully planned to show walkers all the best features of Fiordland National Park - moss-draped beech forest, prolific bird life, tussock high country, huge mountain ranges, cascading waterfalls, vast glacier-carved valleys, luxuriant river flats and limestone formations. The track’s construction makes for easier walking. Most streams are bridged, boardwalks cover boggy areas and the very steep sections have steps. Walk the Kepler and you’ll see everything that’s marvelous about this exquisite corner of the world.
