Take a step back in time and culture and escape from the urban sprawls of the Western World. Climbing, biking or simply traveling through offers a refreshing reset in life and it's trappings. Characterised by its stunning landscape of rolling hills and valleys, this area is renowned for its natural beauty of lush green hills, meandering rivers, and traditional Zulu villages that offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Besides the rock climbing at Monteseel and Old Baldy, other activities such as mountain biking, hiking, birdwatching, 4x4 trails and horseback riding amidst this idyllic scenery are on offer.
The Valley is a traditional Zulu area falling under the Zulu King's chiefdom and is a cultural showcase of the Zulu Culture of Chief's, induna's and community land. A modern blend of subsistence farming and Western economy are well showcased here giving a far more realistic view of the South Africa's mix of cultures and economics than, say, CApe Town.
Both the climbing destinations are easily accessed by normal sedan car and accommodation options abound in the formal hamlets above the Valley, with a select offering in the Valley itself as well.
