For experienced walkers a self guided trek into Tasmania’s impressive Walls of Jerusalem National Park should be high on the agenda. Only accessible by foot, Tasmania’s only true alpine National Park is a spectacular and remote mountain landscape carved by glaciers.

The biblical names for the many highlights in the region simply adds to the imagery and drama of this other-worldly region that is void of the busier more popular trails in Tasmania. After a briefing by our guides in Launceston you will be transferred to the trailhead to begin the short hike into the comfortable base camp, complete with toilets and tent platforms, situated near the entrance to the Walls of Jerusalem peaks. From here it’s up to you where you wish to explore.

Leaving your main gear at basecamp, enjoy delightful day walks with light packs into the heart of the ‘Walls’. You’ll have the chance to climb King David’s Peak and Mt Jerusalem, from where views stretch across much of Tasmania, or venture to remote outer regions such as Golden Gate or Zion Vale. Each day, you’ll return to the base camp, which is situated near a cluster of alpine tarns known as Solomons Jewels.
