GPT Northern Expedition - 4 Days

The Northern Expedition is a 4-day, 3-night journey that will immerse you in the Northern Grampians – by far, the most dramatic part of the Gariwerd Landscape. Its dry, sandy gullies and valley floors are dominated by huge rocky outcrops and some of the biggest sheer sandstone cliffs found anywhere in the Grampians.

We'll begin our journey at the northernmost tip of the Grampians near Mount Zero and over the course of 4 days, we will hike southward all the way to Halls Gap. Each night we'll camp in our supported hiker camps, rest, enjoy a freshly cooked trail meal and sleep under a blanket of stars. No matter your level of hiking experience, our passionate local team will guide and support you through this journey to explore their backyard.

On this expedition, you will cover every step of the Northern Stage of the Grampians Peaks Trail and end in Halls Gap at the beginning of the Central Stage. If your goal is to walk the entire length of the Grampians Peaks Trail, whether it be in one go or over a period of time, this is the first trip for you. After you complete this, you can then join the Central and then Southern Expeditions and you will have covered every step - no missing links!

Who is this program for?

Our 'Expedition' programs are designed for those who love to hike and explore (no matter your level of experience) and prefer the idea of a continuous journey - multiple days, start to finish without leaving the trail. While we provide as much support and comfort as we can, we'll be camping in lightweight hiking tents, sleeping on your inflatable hiking mattress and staying in campsites equipped with composting tank toilets (but no showers!). We take care of all the group equipment (tents, cooking equipment, food etc) but you will need to be capable of carrying your personal clothing, sleeping bag and mattress, approximately 8-12 kgs.

If you would prefer to hike the GPT all in one go without leaving the trail, check out our GPT E2E Expedition

If you like the idea of a shorter multi-day expedition but prefer the idea of a real bed over a tent, check out our Northern Huts Walks!

If you like creature comforts like a hot shower at the end of each day and walking pack free, check out our Grampians Luxe programs!
