What a great track and wonderful photos! I'm just wondering how did you guys manage to do this track on your own? I hear that, unless you go on a guided walk, you have to carry your luggage, food, sleep bag and every thing (+15 kg) with you, which is a burden. You'll also have to book the huts! As far as I know, these are usually get fully booked some months in advance due to limited availability, while you seem to have booked them only some days earlier!!
Definitely worth the effort. Stunning trail all around. Yes, you have to carry food, sleep bag but it's only 2 nights 3 days trip. We simply bring everything we needed for those days and shipped everything to the destination (Queenstown). There's a service in Te Anau that allows you to that.
My bag is definitely less than 10kg. For, food if you don't want to carry a stove and other cooking gears, you can just buy something that's cooked and pack them in your bag.

Well done Ash, thanks for the write-up.
What time of year did you do this?
Early November :)
Such an amazing trip. But I just wonder how could you guys won't lost without any guides in that 3 days ? Was trail always available ?
Thank you! If i remember correctly, the ways are clearly marked and the path are very straight forward. No intersection or anything. :)
Thank you, that's great :D. Hope to get there asap :D.

My friend gave it to me as she didn't plan to use it anymore, but you can rent too.
