Check out the hike up the other side of Table Mountain
Table Mountain, now officially one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world, is also one of the most iconic landmarks on earth. It's absolutely no wonder that Cape Town has become a number tourist destination. A visit to the top is a must do for locals and tourists alike as it provides brilliant views over the city, Camps Bay, Table Bay, the West Coast to the north and the Cape Peninsula to the south. The Cable Car is the best option for those that have limited fitness and time. For those looking to stretch their legs and to get a little more in touch with nature, there are a number of hikes to the top. We opted for Platteklip Gorge. This route is said to be the easiest. With roughly 1,5 to 2 hours of natural stairs leading the way, we would definitely call it the quickest, but not necessarily the easiest. But if you pack a lunch, take lots of water and take your time to leisurely enjoy the views, the people, the plants and the animals there should be no excuse not to try this hike at least once in your life. Add it to your bucket-list today.
Please give us a thumbs up.

Climbing TABLE MOUNTAIN! | Cape Town, South Africa
Table Mountain is by far the most iconic landmark in Cape Town, and for good reason. Not only is it incredibly beautiful to look at, the view from the top is amazing as well. Of course you can take the Cable Car to the top, but climbing the mountain is way more fun! Join a group from my hostel as we climb this amazing landmark!

Best Route up Table Mountain in Cape Town
We decided to take a team up the India Venster hiking trail on Table Mountain on the 18th November 2017.
Most people go up the recommended safer route called Platteklip Gorge. This route is made up of rocks that form steps and zig-zag all the up to the top and has the same view in throughout the journey. Its still a great way up.
But if you're the type of person that loves challenging yourself and a change of scenery through different sections that involves scrambling and getting the best views of Cape Town via the less traveled route... Then this hike is perfect for you.
Then the India Venster Route up Table Mountain is definitely for you.

#abseiltablemountain #tablemountains #hikingtablemountain
Table Mountain (Khoekhoe: Huri ‡oaxa, mountain rising from the sea; Afrikaans: Tafelberg) is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park. Table Mountain is home to a large array of fauna and flora, most of which is endemic.
Hiking on Table Mountain is popular amongst locals and tourists, and a number of trails of varying difficulty are available. Because of the steep cliffs around the summit, direct ascents from the city side are limited. Platteklip Gorge, a prominent gorge up the centre of the main table, is a popular and straightforward direct ascent to the summit. Par for the course is about 2.5 hours but is done between 1–3 hours depending on one's fitness level.

TABLE MOUNTAIN HIKE, Cape Town Vlog
We hiked Table Mountain which is one of the 7 wonders of the world and also roamed around town. Stay tune at the end for a mini haul!
Hiking Notions - From Kirstenbosch Gardens to Table Mountain 1 - Cape Town - 2016
You want to climb a mountain? Then climb it.
So we did.
We followed a new path up a familiar mountain. Discovering beauty in your hometown is like finding treasure under your couch. Rewarding and oh so satisfying. It does make you question why you had not looked there before.
This is something I have been wondering since I decided to have a new outlook on things. I wanted to have adventures so I did. Once you start making your adventures happen you realize what have I been doing with all that time where I wasn't challenging myself and discovery. It can be a saddening fact but it also can be motivation to make the most of the time you have now. Continue the journey and never slip back into old habits.
Through the vast greenery of the Kirstenbosch gardens, I was in constant awe. This route was the jungle vibes I had seen in movies and it was all in my backyard. Besides literally having my breath taken away by all the exercise I wanted to stay and play in this new environment. Photograph every leaf. Discover something new. But upward and onward was the goal.
Great friends make perfect motivators because climbing a mountain is not easy. You want to rest and quit all the time. Once you get over that the reward of achieving something is so worth all the pain.
Cape Town: Abseiling Table Mountain
In Cape Town David and I signed up to do an abseil down Table Mountain with Abseil Africa. I was actually much much more terrified than I look in this video! But it is fun... once you go over the edge! (SPOILER ALERT: If you are going to sign up for this - and don't want to spoil the surprise - then only watch the first 30 seconds!) We took our own GoPro but they have helmet mounts you can use. The hike down from that point was extremely difficult.

Travel Cape Town, South Africa - Table Mountain in Cape Town
Take a tour of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
It takes very little to guesswork to figure out why the mountain off the shores of Cape Town, South Africa is called Table Mountain.
The level, 2 mile (3km) long plateau, flanked by steep cliffs, is Table Mountain's most prominent feature.
The rock hyrax is the area's most common animal.
Table Mountain is a popular tourist destination- from hiking to rock climbing to docking in the shadows of the cliffs.
The rotating cars of the Table Mountain Cableway offer a spectacular view, along with a quick ride to the summit.
Visible here are the two most noted peaks besides the plateau, with the Devil's Point to the east and the Lion's Head to the west.
Table Mountain is magnificent enough to lend its name to the Mensa constellation.

5 TIPS to survive Table Mountain, Cape Town
Enjoy your visit to South African. When you visit Cape Town in South Africa, then you will no doubt visit Table Mountain. To make the most of your visit to Table Mountain, I have put together a list of Table Mountain Tips for you.
Table Mountain Tips:
1. Buy tickets online in advance: This is the best place to find Table Mountain Cable car prices.
2. The cable car interior rotates 360 degrees, so you don’t have to try to push for the front.
3. For the budget conscious you can walk either or both ways up and down the mountain. I’d suggest cable car up and walk down. Hiking table mountain is not for the faint hearted.
4. The weather is unpredictable, so bring both summer (sunscreen included) and winter / wind gear so that you are prepared.
5. Stick to walkways and paths.
6. At the entrance there is a wifi lounge which is not usually very busy.
