Mount Sunday is a stunning spot in New Zealand, located in the Canterbury region. If you’re into hiking or just love being out in nature, this place is well worth the trip. The views are incredible : wide open skies, rugged mountains all around, and a peaceful vibe that makes it feel like you’ve stepped into another world. You might even recognize it as Edoras from The Lord of the Rings, it’s where they filmed the capital of Rohan. I would recommend climbing to the top, but whether you hike up there or just take it all in from below, Mount Sunday is one of those places that really sticks with you.

If you want a better view of this filming location, you can watch my video on YouTube about Edoras.
