  New Zealand Walking and Tramping
Tramping, known in other English-speaking countries as hiking, trekking or bushwalking, is one of the most popular and certainly one of the cheapest outdoor activities in New Zealand.
Visitor centres close to tracks and huts provide intention books, which should be filled in with such details as names of each member of the party and how long each intends to tramp.
Many guiding companies maintain lodges on the more popular tracks, for the exclusive use of their customers, which are rather more luxurious than the huts and provide supplies of food, meaning that trampers only have to carry a small pack between them.
