A note from Holland, Europe. Tramped the Kepler-track in february 1988. Six out of seven days bad weather, but the huts were nice and brandnew. On february 24th the track was officially opened by high ranking officials, who used a helicopter for their "tramp". Since the weather was so bad. they offered me a helicopter-ride from the Luxmore-hut to the Luxmore-pass. This is the only time ever I got a lift on a helicopter !!

I love Kepler more than other tracks like Routeburn and Milford because of its looping track, where you don't have to hitchhike or swapping car keys to other trampers (my personal experience) when you reach the final points of the track and want to drive back to your hotel etc. It's more well-maintained too compared to others.

Hiked it in Feb 2003. Watching the scenery makes me feel like it was yesterday. one of my best traveling days ever. 4 days of constant sun after a snow blizzard.

I did this in June. It was very hard. Snow blizzard, knee deep snow. Took 8 hours from Luxmore Hut to the next one. So keep in mind :)

In New Zealand a hike is a walk which is done within a day whereas a tramp is a lot longer with overnight stays in either huts or camping.

Four days? I only had enough food for two. So I did it in two. It was a cool trip, nonetheless.
