Yes, it’s Lukla.

I just got back from across the ditch. The day walk we did was supposed to be a loop, but the high tide prevented us from going through this arch & back along the beach. What walk was it ? or where was the start ?

[keithj]

I was in Northland on the East coast

To add another clue....

This especially long footbridge is part of the same long walk, but further North.

Whananaki Walkway?
with an extension to Bougainville Memorial Walkway?

Well done. The Walkway is part of ther 3000km Te Araroa long pathway - https://www.teararoa.org.nz/

The bridge was key. I could not find a single photo or description of your coastal arch, only a reference to low tide access.

Yes - Huka Falls carrying water out of Lake Taupo

The Natural Arch is a couple of km N of Mangawhai https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Na ... 11pgpmrkrv

Same country!

Yay, somewhere I've visited. That's Franz Josef Glacier but what is the mist/cloud?
Or is the glacier calving? Looks spectacular whatever it is.

Massive landslip!

About 5 min later the whole valley was enclosed in rock dust.

that looks very close to the final lookout point from memory. Wouldn't want to be underneath.

North of there

[icefest]

Wrong direction, north from Milford. NE to be more accurate.

[johnw]

Not far from the previous photo.

[icefest]

Near fox glacier?

[johnw]

Near fox glacier?

Yes, good enough. From memory I was on a short rainforest walk near Cone Rock/Flute Falls.
That would be part of the Mt Fox massif ahead and on my right. Actually that could be Flute Falls ahead I think.

[johnw]

That be the Tasman Glacier/Tasman Lake.

[icefest]

Yes!

It certainly is. Over to you.

Still NZ. This is a well known route between valleys:
