Stratford - Whangamomona - Tongariro Nationalpark
From Stratford I started my trip towards the Waitomo Caves. I decided to take the famous Forgotten World Highway, which was only 150 kilometres long, but a highly memorable driving journey.
The only village on this Highway was Whangamomona where I could get a stamp for my passport at the historic hotel because it's a own republic in New Zealand!
I ended up at a lost campground in the middle of the Tongariro Nationalpark where I had the coldest night since I'm in New Zealand.
Enjoy this video :)

Forgotten World Highway is one of 10 themed highways in New Zealand. It starts in Stratford and goes through picturesque regions of Taranaki and Ruapehu, ending up in Taumarunui. Only 150kms long, it is one of the most unique tourist attractions in New Zealand.
There are many points of interest on the Forgotten World Highway including beautiful town of Stratford, independent republic of Whangamomona (and historic Whangamomona Hotel), Mt Damper Falls, old tunnel, Lauren's Lavender Farm and, of course, amazing views at highest mountains of New Zealand's North Island - Mt Taranaki and Mt Ruapehu. It's great for people enjoying driving, hiking, sightseeing and other adventures. An absolute must-do activity for everyone travelling to New Zealand.
Close to the Forgotten World Highway you can find the largest alpaca farm in New Zealand - Nevalea Alpacas. You can meet these friendly animals here all year round and have a tour around the farm or feed alpacas.

Forgotten World Highway & Owhango Lagoon - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – BackpackerGuide.NZ
Day 39: Today we are road tripping down the Forgotten World Highway after checking out the Owhango Lagoon! That’s two activities today out of 365 Days: 365 Activities.
Yesterday - Day 38 -
Tomorrow – Day 40 –
About this video:
Today is day 39 of New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year and today we are starting a road trip down the wonderful, mysterious and rugged Forgotten World Highway!
Before we hit the road though, there is one more place we want to check out before leaving the Taumarunui area: the Owhango Lagoon. Thanks to a recommendation from the Forgotten World Motel, we find a beautiful bush walk around the Owhango Lagoon which leads to the tranquil Owhango Lagoon itself.
After that, we hit the road onto the Forgotten World Highway where we are treated to countryside scenery, rolling hills and a classic New Zealand traffic jam: sheep. Things get more rough and rugged as we reach the gravel road and go through the Tangarakau Gorge. The scenery of the Forgotten World Highway is stunning, but man this road is rough!
Finally, we reach our final destination on the Forgotten World Highway this evening – a place called Tangarakau, otherwise known as Ghost Town. So we meet our Forgotten World Highway farmstay hosts and hop in a 4x4 up some mountains to check out some awesome Forgotten World Highway scenery before sunset. We have dinner with the farmstay family and get ready for more Forgotten World Highway adventures tomorrow!
What do you think of the Forgotten World Highway? Is it a New Zealand road trip you would do?

NZ Motorcycle Rides Ep4 - Forgotten World Highway
This ride takes you from Taumaranui to Stratford on the Forgotten World Highway. A 15km unpaved gravel section makes this a challenging ride on a cruiser but the scenery is well worth it. A trip through the Moki Tunnel and breakfast in Whangamomona are some of the highlights of the ride. I couldn't resist using the song Lost Highway by Bon Jovi for this video.

5 - The Forgotten World Highway - Revisited - New Zealand
Welcome to Part 5 of the Forgotten World Highway Ride. My Wife and I have traveled from Wanganui, to Stratford. Up State Highway 43, aka The Forgotten World Highway to Taumarunui. Then back home via National Park. This is an awesome ride and a must do if you are in the area. Before this ride, I had washed the bike and polished it… and included the seat… Yes a polished seat. My Wife would slide forward every time I applied the Brakes… This was especially noticed when I would come into a sharp down-hill bend and braked hard. She would slide forward, causing me to crush my giblets into the tank. She knew this was happening and found it very funny… Nice…
