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

At 21.0 km, this is a challenging full-day or multi-stage hike. At an average pace, the route takes roughly 4 hours and 41 minutes to complete.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Look for the TA04h trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
