Kepler Track, a three- to four-day tramp in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand
Kepler Track is a hiking trail in Southland that forms part of New Zealand's Great Walks network. The route passes through varied terrain including lakes, beech forests, and exposed ridge lines that offer views across surrounding valleys.
The track was developed in the 1980s and designated as a Great Walk to open up access to this classic hiking area. Since then it has become one of the country's most popular multi-day treks.
The hike typically takes 3 to 4 days and requires good fitness and proper gear. Visitors should book ahead and check weather conditions, as conditions can change quickly on exposed sections.
The trail offers rare close encounters with mountain parrots and other bird species native to this region. The quiet isolation on the higher passes provides an unusual chance to experience New Zealand wilderness in depth.
