Stop

Platteklip Gorge

Table Mountain National Park, Tafelberg Rd, Gardens, Cape Town, 8001, Table Mountain National Park 8001 South Africa

Platteklip Gorge route is the most direct and popular route up Table Mountain. The gorge is rocky with steep steps (more than 800) that are high and uneven in places with no water or shade along the way. The Cable Car takes 4 min down, but please keep in mind that the cable car doesn’t operate in high wind and adverse weather. This route has caught many a casual hiker (without a guide) unawares due to inappropriate footwear, lack of water and sudden changes in weather. In summer a very early start is essential to avoid the intense heat and lack of shade up the gorge. The hike is physically demanding and rated as moderate to tough, depending on your fitness and the weather. Start: 400m / 1312ft - highest point reached: 1025m / 3363ft above sea level. Distance approx. 3km (1.86miles) Time to the top 1.5hr – 3 hours depending on your fitness level.
