Want to take a hike that takes you through the heart of “Mordor”, passing by “Mount Doom”? To really immerse yourself in Mordor and feel the eerie barren landscape, trek the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

The landscapes of Mordor and Mount Doom was filmed right in the World HeritageTongariro National Park and it’s known as World’s Best One-Day Hike. Not only that, as a big fan of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy films, I made it a dedicated trip to ensure I checked this off my bucket list!

My travel buddy, Ryan, and I went withTongariro Expeditions, and we couldn’t express how much we’re thankful for Great Lake Taupo, NZ for arranging and hosting us in this expedition on a complimentary basis.

It was exhilarating and mind blowing walking through alpine environments that looked like they belonged on another planet. When you start the descent down the mountain you’re greeted with the otherworldly view of the three crater lakes with four seasons in a whole day! This is truly one of things you must do when you’re in New Zealand!
