Eschew the standard Plattekilp Gorge trekking route to the summit of Table Mountain.
Instead, take the 3 km India Venster trail. It may not be the easiest way to reach the highest point in Cape Town, but it is one of the most rewarding.
Brush past the national park’s unique fynbos flora. Scramble across incredible rock formations. Clamber up sheer rock with the help of specially-implanted metal brackets.
Your reward – astonishing views of Cape Town, Table Bay, Lion’s Head peak and the Twelve Apostles.
