Nori arrived at the trailhead of Mount Tongariro on a bright morning with his pack and hiking boots ready. “This looks amazing,” he said softly as he checked the map.
After a while, he met a backpacker from Germany who was hiking alone. “Hi, is this your first time here?” Nori asked with a friendly smile.
Later, they met a woman from Canada resting beside a clear mountain stream. “Would you like some trail snacks?” she asked as she opened her bag.
Near the summit, they stopped to take photos and enjoy the wide view. “Wow, look at those mountains and lakes,” the Canadian woman said with excitement.
He started walking along the track with green trees, dark rocks, and wide blue skies. “The weather is perfect for hiking today,” Nori said as he followed the trail.
“Yes, it is,” the backpacker replied, “but Mount Tongariro is very beautiful.” Nori nodded and said, “The views on this track are really impressive.”
“Thank you, that’s very kind,” Nori said as they all started hiking together. “I enjoy meeting people from different countries on the trail.”
When the hike ended, Nori said, “It was great hiking with you,” and waved goodbye. He knew this Mount Tongariro adventure would always be special to him.
