The Prince Alfred Pass is considered as an alternative route between the coast and the Klein Karoo. It was built as an ambitious project by Thomas Bain and considerably reduced the distance between the coast and the Karoo. The pass offers a seldom taken path showcasing some of the most amazing scenic beauties that the area has to offer. The unspoiled spots also serve as exciting picnic spots for the adventurous. However, it is advised that the path be not taken during or after the rains or with caravans.
