Te Araroa - 04 Manawatū-Whanganui - h Bulls to Feilding

Road margins all the way. Shoulders often minimal. Face the oncoming traffic (you on right side in Aotearoa-New Zealand), EXCEPT where: a) view ahead is restricted - drivers of you b) there is a footpath on the other side

Covering 21.0 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 4 hours and 41 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. The trail is officially waymarked as TA04h, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
