The first National Park in New Zealand, Tongariro was the also first in the entire world that was gifted by country\u2019s native people. Originally, the National Park was spread across 2640 hectares. But with a gradual expansion over the years, today the National Park covers around 80,000 hectares of land<\/strong>. The active volcanoes of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu<\/strong>, surrounding the Tongariro National Park are 1967, 2287 and 2797 metres high respectively. Tongariro National Park became the first place in the world to be given the Dual World Heritage site status in 1993<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The weather pattern at the Tongariro National Park is highly indeterminable, with the region experiencing rainfall and snowfall any time of the year<\/strong>. This is the reason why there are no specific dry or wet months\/seasons in the Tongariro National Park. Even after having the perfect conditions for Skiing during winter, it is the Alpine crossing in this park that manages to attract a lot of tourists and adventurers from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Tongariro National Park is also home to an amazing variety of flora and fauna. The North Island brown kiwi as well as the endangered blue duck, reside in the dense forests and streams of Tongariro National Park respectively. The Kaka, native falcon, as well as the beautiful parakeet, are some of the birds that one can spot on rare occasions. Also, alpine and mistletoe plants along with orchids and mountain beech forests add to the glory of this place.<\/p>\n
