A. One does not simply ride in to Mordor. Well, actually you can almost ride into it by visiting the Tongariro National Park on the North Island; this spectacular region played the part of the realm of Sauron in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films. He’s not there anymore thanks to a filthy Hobbits, so it’s safe to visit and offers some truly epic scenery to be experienced from the back of a bike or on foot.
