Blue Mountains Backpackers

The Blue Mountains has long been seen as a desired destination for all backpackers to come and enjoy when they get to Australia. With everything that a backpacker looks for in a location, it is all at your fingertips for you to enjoy.

The Blue Mountains is located just 90 minutes out of Sydney with many making the trip to the region by car, as there are many fantastic rental companies that operate all throughout Australia. There are also regular bus and train services from Sydney to the Central Railway Station in the Blue Mountains, where a Double Decker bus can be arranged to pick you up and take you to your required destination.

There are plenty of backpacker hostels here that don’t even feel like your standard hostel! With excellent Blue Mountains accommodation ranging from dorm, double or twin rooms, you will be staying in very comfortable accommodation. Or maybe you are looking for something a little different for this part of your trip so why don’t you check out the amazing budget accommodation that can be found at many of the outstanding resorts, apartments, hotels, motels, guest houses and B&B’s. So many properties have prices that you won’t believe that will really make your stay here a memorable one!

Katoomba is the main town, which offers ample opportunities for hiking, bushwalking and to visit the famous Three Sisters. There are also cafes, funky shops, yoga, galleries, historic churches and museums for you to visit while you are here. Katoomba’s location in the Blue Mountains provides it with a more temperate climate to Sydney, with occasional snowfall in the winter and mild summers.

There are three National Parks in the Blue Mountains National Park, which offers great bushwalking, spectacular scenery and views, great rock climbing and some magnificent waterfalls. You can also take part in horse riding, canyoning, abseiling, hang gliding, scenic flights, joy rides and hiking just to name a few of the many activities. There are many spectacular lookouts to be enjoyed as well as cascading waterfalls but one of the places that you should not miss is the famous limestone caves; the Jenolan Caves. You can take a guided tour if you like and learn about this history from one of the experience tour guides or walk around by yourself and discover some amazing formations.

Many tour operators run daily tours around the Blue Mountains that are easy to book onto so that you can visit many of these outstanding places as well as learn a little about the region! Or perhaps you would like to visit nearby town and cities such as Newcastle, Gosford or Sydney for the day! It is all possible with a range of great tours and rental options that you can take your pick from.

So don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to visit one of Australia’s most famous and captivating places! The Blue Mountains will give all backpackers that visit this region a holiday that you will never forget.
