Castle Hill, South Island, New Zealand. In 2002 it was named a "Spiritual Center of the Universe" by the Dalai Lama.
The grand limestone rock battlements of Kura Tawhiti led early European travellers to name the area Castle Hill. Climbers, families, students, scientists and travellers have always been drawn to this spectacular place, to explore its natural, cultural, historic and recreation values. Bounded by the high mountains of the Torlesse Range to the east and the Craigieburn Range to the west, the limestone tors of Kura Tawhiti Conservation Area dominate the Waimakariri Basin, Canterbury.
