Guided Table Mountain Hike via India Venster Activity - Cape Town Travel Guide

Overview

This route involves short sections of scrambling on narrow ledges, with some sections protected with metal “staples” (or ladders), so it is not suitable for those who suffer badly from fear of heights and do not enjoy pushing their boundaries.

This steep and challenging route requires a good fitness level.
​​There are many level sections along the route though that break up the climbs nicely so many people find this to be a less tiring route than Platteklip Gorge.

We meet at the Lower Cable Station and ascend via India Venster to finish at the Upper Cable Station.
If the cablecar is open - from the summit you can choose how long you would like to stay on the summit, enjoying the views and the treats available at the “Café at the Top”, and then take the cable car down mountain
If it is closed we will hike back down the mountain via Platteklip Gorge
