What's your favourite tracks in your area?
Hi guys!
I'm hoping to plan around 3-4 weeks in Jan/Feb to travel Akl-Dun and want to hit up a bunch of tracks. Going to keep it relatively casual so Great Walks don't really appeal because a. booking system b. overcrowded as all hell c. would rather have a slightly more interesting walk
Looking mainly for 2-3 day tracks, preferably scenic bc I always take my camera out haha. Don't really want to go off-track/bushwhacking because I don't trust my navigational skills but anything up to there is likely fair game, and would prefer a hut as trying to get away with not buying a lightweight tent + just borrowing a mates larger tent for camping on the side of the road.
Will obviously be doing my own research just thought if anyone had any good recs in their area I would love to hear them :)
[to give context: just finished uni, start work in feb, my parents have let me borrow my old fuel efficient car since my brother bought a new one and I want to take advantage!]

Thousand Acre Plateau is certainly worth visiting, might even have the entire place to yourself.
Also the Richmond Alpine Route is pretty stunning, but logistically it can be a bit tricky... Might take longer then three days based on what tracks you take.
The alpine route has big ups and downs and you wouldn't have to worry about getting a bunk most of the time. Everytime I've been there we've never seen anyone else pretty much.
When I did it, I saw six others, all doing the TA. But had the huts to myself. I did a shorter loop, finishing and starting at the Goulter carpark.
