Bay of Plenty Te Tuhi and Mangamuka Hut

It takes almost 2 hours to drive from Taupo to the car park at the end of Te Tuhi Road. The walk is best described as a hard grunt uphill through farmland then native forest followed by a moderately long walk in undulating terrain in places within superb broad-leafed, mainly beech trees. After about 90 minutes there is relatively easy walking but there are no features of note hence the map shows few waypoints. After the Mangamuka Hut there is some bog to get through then it is more featureless forest walking back to the North South track then retrace the entry route
