Your tour ends with a walk around the edge of the 'table-top' and a spectacular descent in the cable-car which brings you back to earth.

The cable car appears in the 'venster' (window) on the way over the spectacular India-Venster route.

Choose from the easier trek up Platteklip Gorge or the more technical scramble over the India-Venster route - either way, you'll be inspired to reach the table-top of this iconic, 7th 'wonder of nature', for which Cape Town is so famous. The easier 2 hour hike up Platteklip Gorge follows in the footsteps of the first European to climb Table Mountain in 1503; while the India-Venster route offers a more challenging scramble with some moderate exposure to heights (10-20 metres), over 3.5 hours.
Distance: 3km | Height Gain: 760m
