Mount Herbert, Mountain summit in Banks Peninsula, New Zealand.
Mount Herbert rises 919 meters above sea level as the highest peak of Banks Peninsula, featuring varied terrains from forests to open grasslands.
The mountain paths were established by early European settlers in the 1860s, with notable landmarks including a historic eucalyptus tree from that period.
The mountain, known as Te Ahu Pātiki to the Ngāi Tahu tribe, holds traditional significance as an ancestral marker in Māori navigation and storytelling.
The Mount Herbert Walkway spans 14 kilometers return and requires 6 to 8 hours to complete, with access points from Diamond Harbour or Gebbies Pass.
From the mountain summit, visitors can observe three distinct landscapes: Lyttelton Harbour, the Canterbury Plains, and distant snow-covered mountain ranges.
