Aiming to do this soon, your post is so inspiring! I'm a solo backpacker, can I just book a hostel and a shuttle for the next day and take it from there? Is it easy to meet others wanting to do the same, I'm not an experienced hiker but is a guide necessary, I'm budgeting :) thanks!
Next month I have a plan to go to Tongariro Alpine Crossing but the cost is quite expensive in compare to your budget due to the requirement of having the guide and special equipments. It is $175 included the transportation from Taupo. Hope it could be awesome as your one.
Tongariro Crossing - loved it! One of the best things I've done in my life, 'though we didn't make it up to Ngauruhoe :)
