The hike is guided by qualified mountain guide, Marc. We start the ascent from the lower cable station on Table Mountain.
The India Venster (Window in English), the trail’s namesake, is a prominent landmark along the route. This natural frame offers an ideal spot to catch one’s breath and marvel at the panoramic views of the iconic Table Bay.
As hikers ascend, the trail becomes steeper and more demanding. The route is characterised by a variety of terrain, from well-maintained paths to sections requiring hands-on scrambling and the assistance of chains and rock staples.
Near the top we move on to the majestic fountain ledge where you’ll greeted by spectacular view of Camps Bay and Clifton.
We finish the hike at the upper cable station where we take the cable car back (weather permitting). If the cable car isn’t we’ll descend via Platteklip Gorge.
