The Tongariro Northern Circuit, one of the New Zealand Great Walks, offers a three- to four-day tramp through Tongariro National Park New Zealand. Highlighted by the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a full day of awe-inspiring landscapes, The entire trail spans a 50-kilometre (31 mi) around Mount Ngauruhoe. Approximately 2,500 hikers completed the walk in the 2021/22 season. This contrasts with the roughly 25,000 who solely walk the Tongariro Crossing segment.

There are three New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) huts around the circuit - Mangatepopo, Oturere and Waihohonu. A fourth hut, Ketetahi, was damaged in the 2012 eruption and is now only a day shelter. It is forbidden to camp within 500 metres (1,600 ft) of the track.
