Australia’s oldest wine region is home to 120 wineries, award-winning restaurants and beautiful hotels, adding up to the perfect culinary escape. Drive two hours north from Sydney to discover the beauty of the Hunter Valley. utumn (March to May) is the best season to visit the Hunter Valley as the temperatures are pleasant with minimal rain. During these months, the landscape gets painted with hues of orange, yellow, green and brown, making it a photographer’s delight. The Hunter Valley is well-known as one of Australia’s best wine regions. Amongst sweeping valleys and sprawling fields, historic vineyards continue to create delicious wine flavours that have characterised the region for more than a century. Whilst there are many towns around the Hunter you could potentially stay in, there are only three that we would recommend: Pokolbin, Broke and Wollombi. Pokolbin is the most famous, busy and popular of the three – you could call it the capital of the Hunter Valley. The Ladakh range is crossed by the Chang-la (18,000 feet / 5,475 M) which despite its great elevation is one of the easier passes, remaining open for much of the year even in winter, apart from periods of actual snowfall. Tangse, just beyond the foot of the pass, has an ancient temple. nBut the main attraction of this circuit is the Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000 feet (4,267 M). A long narrow basin of inland drainage, hardly six to seven kilometers at its widest point to which foreigners are permitted, is only some seven km along the southern shore from the head of the lake, but it affords spectacular views of the mountains of the Changchenmo range to the north, their reflection shimmering in the ever-changing blues and greens of the lakes brackish water.
