TUGELA GORGE - ROYAL NATAL NATIONAL PARK
From the Royal Natal National Park we explore the Tugela Gorge with its massive overhangs & beautiful rock pools. This trail exposes tremendous views when you gaze up at the Sentinel, Amphitheatre and Devils tooth as the path winds along the river course.
The Tugela gorge Trail takes us along the banks of the Tugela, once we are near the top of the gorge, near the base of the Tugela Falls, we will stop for a traditional hikers packed lunch. There's time to relax next to the clean clear waters of the Thukela River or even take a swim if the weathers good.
OPTIONAL EXTRA: Your option for Vertical adventure begins after lunch. An adventurous twist to this stunning walk is the abseil we set up in the gorge. The freefall abseil is into one of the bigger river pools, it's quite a thrill! During winter, the abseil has a totally dry landing, so there's no need to get cold in the icy mountain water, but in summer you have the option of taking a dip in a fresh mountain stream.
After a stretch of boulder hopping and exploration in the gorge, we rejoin the path winding back along the Tugela river and return to the start.
