Tongariro alpine crossing has a distance of 19.4 km. It is a 7-9 hours walk. So you will start about approximately 8 o’clock because you are going by bus from National Park and you will be picked up at 4 o’clock. That means that you have to walk 3 km per hour and you have an one hour break. Normally you will walk about 5 km per hour but if you are in the mountains you can forget that you will reach 5 km in hour. You may be happy with 3 km per hours because it is a very steep track and then I don’t speak about to climbing to the summits! I say summits because you have a opportunity to do two summits. But I am not going to clime the summits because it is very dangerous. Falling rocks are the danger of the summits. The inexperienced walkers don’t look out for other people and you can get a lot of physical damage. Why should I risk it?
