Kepler Track, New Zealand

One of a designated number of "Great Walks", the Kepler is in Fiordland National Park, on the South Island. Sixty kilometers and 4 days' walking sees you traverse a variety of landscapes, from beech forest to alpine grassland, glaciated valleys to lake shores. The alpine section is spectacular- we had rain, snow, low cloud and even the odd sunny patch!
