Hi,

I am posting this for Jitesh. I won't be going.

Jitesh wants to hike the "Milford Track" from Nov 24th to 27th.
More details about this track here:

http://www.milfordtra...

You need to book entrance to the trail here:
http://booking.doc.go...

This booking opens on the July 14th and usually gets filled up in a day
or two.

The prices are NZ$135 for the 3 nights/4 days access to the trails and
accomodations in huts. The exchange rate is good so it will be less than a
hundred US bucks.

Word of caution: It rains a lot there and the last day has a lot of flies/bugs.
Carry raingear and bugspray.

The closest airport is Queenstown,NZ. The Airport code is ZQN.
New Zealand's biggest town Auckland is 18 hrs by car. But you could
fly into Auckland, stay a few days and fly to Queenstown. It's airport code is
AKL.

New Zealand's capital is Wellington, airport code is WLG. It is probably a good
10 hr drive to Queenstown,NZ.

If you have time. You can fly into the 2 major cities and get a bus pass from
http://www.magicbus.c... and travel the country.
Make sure you arrive in Queenstown,NZ on the 23rd.

Contact Jitesh about travel agents. He says he can find air deals less than
US $1200 for those dates. His email address is: jitu at jitu dot net

Note: I added NZ after Queenstown to make sure I wasn't typing Queensland which is in Austrailia.

cheers,
Swam
