Walking New Zealand

Waterfalls a feature of Upper Nihotupu Dam walk

-

know about yet another destinatio­n for day walk. It was so beautiful.

The number of walkers was good. We passed by individual­s, couples, families and groups of people, every now and then.

At the end of the road, when we were finishing, this gentleman with his son on his back was starting his walk. I requested him to allow me to take a photo and he obliged me by posing. It is a wonderful photo. He must have been an avid walker. The car park was not too far from there.

We cleaned our walking shoes and drank water and were ready to drive back home.

The total time we spent starting from home to reach the destinatio­n and back was three hours and a half including time of resting and looking around the dam. It is an easy walk along the service road. That is why it is good for families with kids as well. In good weather, planning a picnic with family and friends together with a walk is quite enjoyable in such a beautiful and serene environmen­t.
