Northern Expedition

The Northern Expedition is a 4-day, 3-night hiking journey through the dramatic Northern Grampians, covering the Northern Stage of the Grampians Peaks Trail from Mount Zero to Halls Gap. Participants will traverse dry gullies, valley floors, and huge sandstone cliffs, camping each night in supported hiker camps with freshly cooked meals and guidance from experienced local guides. The expedition is suitable for all hiking levels, allowing hikers to experience the full Northern Stage while preparing for subsequent Central and Southern Expeditions if desired. Each day involves scenic ascents, valley crossings, ridge hikes, and spectacular viewpoints, with daily distances ranging from 12.9 to 15 km and varying elevation gains and losses. The journey concludes in Halls Gap with a celebratory lunch and local craft beer.

This program is designed for those who enjoy multi-day continuous hiking adventures, camping in lightweight tents, and carrying personal clothing and gear (8-12 kg). Group equipment, meals, and safety support are provided, while participants are responsible for personal hiking gear, medical insurance, and meals outside the trail. Inclusions cover qualified guides, three nights of camping, all trail meals, transfers, and group safety equipment. Exclusions include personal clothing and equipment, medical and evacuation insurance, meals in towns, and accommodation before or after the hike. Options are available for hikers seeking a more comfortable experience, including hut-based walks or luxury programs.
