Departure Dates
This pristine Wilderness World Heritage Area offers visitors the chance of experiencing a truly unique part of Australia, a part of Australia that time forgot. With its towering mountain peaks, ancient pencil pine forests, countless lakes, diverse endemic alpine flora and abundant wildlife – The Walls of Jerusalem is a must see for bushwalkers.
The only way into The Walls of Jerusalem National Park is by foot, this remote untouched wilderness is only available to a select few. Our 4 day introductory trek takes us into the heart of the Central Walls area where we base camp for three nights. We have the luxury of day pack walking on day two and three, so we can make the most of this spectacular place and get to the mountain peaks and remoter sections of the park a little easier. Our base camp is located under the watchful gaze of Kind David’s Peak offering spectacular views of the Central Tasmanian Plateau and quick access to many wonders of the Central Walls of Jerusalem National Park.
Trek Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem Base Camp Trek has a food drop, and with tents set up at our base camp prior to us arriving, we have lighter loads to carry and more time to explore this truly stunning wilderness environment.

NOTES TO CONSIDER
Our 4 day Walls of Jerusalem adventure is a moderate walk, we advise you to do as much training as you can before your tour with us. The more you train for the walk the easier you will handle the terrain and the more you will enjoy this wonderful part of the world. It’s also important to come along with an open mind ready for an awesome experience whatever the weather, whoever the group. It is very important that you bring the right gear for the conditions. The Tasmanian weather can be unpredictable, storms can arise very quickly and heavy rain and even snow can fall at any time of the year. A comprehensive gear list will be sent to you when you book your tour with us. Quality Backpacks, sleeping bags, rain jackets, and over pants are also available for hire. If you are at all concerned about your ability to do this walk, please feel free to call one of us here at Trek Tasmania for more advice.
