Introduction

Those who have watched "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy will surely remember the residence of the Dark Lord Sauron: Mount Doom and Mordor. In reality, the location for filming the exterior of Mordor was Mount Tongariro, which is 1978 meters high, and nearby Mt. Ngauruhoe was the location for Mount Doom. Since then, the "Lord of the Rings" movies became extremely popular, and many travel agencies offered adventure tours taking tourists on a journey from Mount Tongariro, down the Waikato River by kayak, all the way to the Tasman Sea. Now, this travel route attracts adventure-loving tourists to experience the magnificent natural wonders that appeared in the on-screen magic.
