The Complete Guides to Trekking New Zealand’s World-Famous Milford Track and Routeburn Track

This e-book bundle gives you a 20% discount on these two e-books to classic New Zealand hut treks, a combined $39.90 value:

The Complete Guide to Trekking New Zealand’s World-Famous Milford Track” describes the four-day hike on the Milford Track in New Zealand’s amazing Fiordland National Park, widely hailed as one of the world’s great treks. Stretching for 53.5 kilometers/33.2 miles from sprawling Lake Te Anau to Milford Sound, where peaks soar 1,500 meters/5,000 feet straight up out of the sea, the Milford Track ascends one river valley below innumerable waterfalls plunging down rainforest-clad mountains, crosses 1,154-meter/3,786-foot Mackinnon Pass, and then descends another rainforest valley past countless more waterfalls.

The Complete Guide to Trekking New Zealand’s Routeburn Track” describes another of New Zealand’s very best hut treks, a point-to-point hike of 33.1 kilometers/20.7 miles in Mount Aspiring and Fiordland national parks. Typically hiked in three days, it’s best known for a miles-long alpine traverse high above the rainforest, including a crossing of the mountain pass Harris Saddle at 1,255 meters/4,117 feet.

Both e-books include tips on everything from booking huts to the day-to-day itinerary and preparing for the commonly wet weather there.

Read my stories about these trips, “Learning to—Love?—the Rain on New Zealand’s Milford Track,” “Trekking New Zealand’s World-Class Routeburn Track,” both of which are partially free for anyone to read but require a paid subscription to read in full.
