When you read the spectator magazine, you will come across a superb review of what is called the thirty three and a half mile Milford track through Fiordland National Park in New Zealand. This apparently is the finest walk in the world. This happens to be the finest walk in the world. Also this is quite an honorific and still credible hikers who know a lot about how they go about doing their business. One big fan of this place was Sir Edmund Hillary, this too an entire century later.

The part of the Te Wahipounamu is a UNESCO world Heritage site. The beauty in his place is almost jaw dropping. It is a rare combination of rain forests, rushing rivers and alpine mountains all covered in glacial ice. This yields many vistas that could get you to think that you have stepped into a painting. The novices here are hardened trekkers who totally enjoy the delights of the Milford. This place offers a lot of solitude and you could want more and more of the clear ambient water that no one would have a problem with u drinking it when you reach that spot.

You could also go as apart of a guided group of around fifty travelers who are on a five day trip that includes about three days of a lot of walking.

The wilderness is just awesome and everything around looks just incredible.

The Milford track is neither too difficult nor too easy. It is just about the right about of effort you may want to put in while walking a trail.  Children under ten years old are not allowed and if you are over seventy years of age, you sign a declaration and get a fitness certificate from a Physician.

If you are part of a city folk and are not accustomed to walking more than just a few minutes at a stretch then you are going to find it hard. Experienced hikers would consider this trail to be not much of a challenge.

There is so much that depends on the unpredictability of the weather. There are frequent rains and a good amount of snow during the summers in the south west corner of the south island of New Zealand.

The many hikers who walk the whole track in the most active season are restricted to ninety days. With a private guide company it is even more controlled and only fifty days are allowed. And the forty independent walkers are all part of New Zealand’s Department of conservation.

All the sponsors here have their own overnight accommodation and all people here walk in the same direction. Fright from the north head of the lake to the Te Anau to Sand fly point on the Milford sound. The route dates from the year eighteen hundred and eighty eight where two Scots, Quintin Mackinnon and Ernest Mitchell, made up a half dozed steep switchbacks which pass through the mountain pass and now bear MacKinnon’s name and a memorial dedicated to him is topped with a cross.
