Hike Through Middle-earth: Conquer the Tongariro Crossing

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is New Zealand’s most iconic hike, taking you through a 20km hike of dramatic volcanic landscapes used as Mordor in The Lord of the Rings. Trek past steaming vents, emerald lakes, and the mighty Mount Ngauruhoe—Mount Doom itself. It’s a challenging adventure so you better pack some snacks and water but you’ll be rewarded with epic views straight from Middle-earth. #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders #mordor #lordoftherings #hike #epic
