Mount Warning Climb
Mount Warning is a remnant of the Tweed Volcano that once ruled the region. This mountain is almost a kilometre high, so it definitely has the best views in the region from its top (a perfect photo opportunity). Take the 8.8km climb up the mountain to uncover these incredible sights, climbing up cliff faces and steep walking paths. Take along your Go Pro to record the trek and the well worked-for panoramic view of the valley and coast below you at the top. If you’re feeling brave, pack a small picnic and perch yourself at the tip top for an exciting, on-edge lunch before sliding back down to the base.

Kathmandu Kitchen
This Nepalese and Tibetan restaurant offers more than dinner; they promise ‘a culinary journey into the heart of Nepal’. If you’re hungry after your day out climbing mountains, then the Kathmandu Kitchen will fill you up with their spicy, traditional Himalayan food. For starters, wet your appetite with a dish of momo; Tibetan spiced beef dumplings served with fresh tomato & coriander sauce. If you want to keep your heart rate high and not waste the exercise for the day, get their HOT HOT HOT Vindaloo Goruko; a beef curry that boasts to be the best in the region and will probably make you cry a little bit. Flavour is no stranger to the Kathmandu Kitchen, so bring your appetite and keep the cucumber yoghurt close for a spicy bite to eat.

Minyon Falls
Minyon Falls is a 100-metre cliff drop in the heart of the Tweed Valley that is home to an incredible waterfall, especially after the wet season. While it is definitely not recommended that you try to climb or jump from the falls, there is an incredible natural swimming hole at the bottom of the falls that is sure to be the perfect place to take an amazing photo or two. Bathe in the crystal clear water while overlooking some of the most untouched nature you’ll ever see, and make sure to record it to show your grandchildren in the future.
