India Venster hike – Why choose this route?

This route ticks all the correct boxes: diverse views, adventure & interesting topography.
We recommend that you do not attempt hiking this route without an experienced & competent guide.
India Venster is one of our top half day route recommendations on Table Mountain!
It starts on the north face of the mountain with breath taking views of the city and Table Bay, then it swings around to the west side of the mountain, with superb views of Camps Bay, the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic Ocean.
The route involves scrambling (elementary climbing) and exposure to heights (narrow ledges – nothing extreme) about 15% of the way, so you do need a head for heights.
No experience required, only a sense of adventure!
Hike Duration: About 3.5 hours
Hike Distance: About 3 km / 1.9 miles
Elevation Gain: 700 meters / 2300 feet
