Sustained walking on steep or difficult terrain, often several hours.

Rated by the most demanding day, not the average. Full detail is on each experience page.

The Route

Driving times are our own working estimates, including stops. They run longer than mapping apps suggest, because those do not account for road conditions here.

↓ We will confirm this drive time when we plan your dates.

↓ 160 km, 4 to 6 hours · Rough and unsurfaced in placesShort in kilometres, long in hours. Steep, winding and largely unsurfaced. This is the leg most often underestimated, and arriving late here matters because gorilla briefings start early.
