Uluru

Palya! Welcome to Anangu land. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is Aboriginal land. It is jointly managed by its traditional owners Anangu and Parks Australia. The park is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site for its natural and cultural values. The spectacular rock formations and surrounding sand plains provide rare habitats for an incredible variety of plants and animals. Anangu invite you to visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to learn more about their land, beliefs and culture.

We decided to tick this off our bucket list when we heard they were closing the climb. We had an excellent holiday doing the climb, nearby sunset camel ride with Ayers Rock view, we did the 11km base walk around Ayers Rock, the 7.4km hike through the Valley of the Winds and 2.4km return Walpa Gorge walk at the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). The climb itself was definitely the highlight of the trip and made it worthwhile. We did think it was reckless of parents to take children under 15 on the climb and that 50+ adults were allowed to climb it, as it was a huge challenge for a couple of fit 30 year olds. We'd hiked up mountains before, but this was the biggest challenge with a combination of climbing and hiking, requiring a lot of cardio fitness. We helped out others (by giving them some water) who stupidly decided to climb with kids without sufficient water, and a group of guys in their 20's who stupidly decided to climb with no water. They should keep the climb open but restrict it to reasonably fit (not significantly overweight) 15-50 year olds with ID and make it mandatory that they have at least 3L of water per person. With the climb closed, I can't recommend going there unless you're already driving around Australia. Also probably skip the Field of Lights, as though it is nice, it's not worth the money they're charging.

Kata Tjuta - The Olgas

Kata Tjuta is Pitjantjatjara meaning 'many heads'. This spectacular landform lies about 50 kilometres drive from Uluru and Yulara. This area is an Anangu men's site and is sacred under Tjukurpa (traditional law). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit this place but as with all areas of the park, please stay on the marked tracks. Take in the sunrise from the viewing platform or on a walking trail through Walpa Gorge or the Valley of the Winds.

Valley of the Winds

The Valley of the Winds walk lets visitors immerse themselves among Kata Tjuta's domes. Featuring unparalleled views on the spectacular desert landscape, the walk takes approximately 3-4 hours and can be steep and rocky in some areas.

The second day of our Outback trip kicked off at 5:30 am ,first stop was to witness the Uluru Sunrise followed by the valley of the winds walk.We arrived at the Kata Tjuta -Valley of the winds car park around 7:30 am and embarked on the famous valley of winds walk - approximately 7 km and we took approximately 3 hours to complete. The initial path of the circuit is bit flat but it has uneven rocks so be mindful while walking. undoubtedly, you will tend to enjoy the amazing 360 degree view of the domes while walking but be cautious as you do not want to stumble. The first stop of the circuit walk was at Karu lookout ,approximately 1.1 km from the car park and was not much challenging to reach there.One important note ,the walking track beyond Karu look out closes when the temperature reaches 36 degrees,so definitely have a check on weather forecast if you are travelling in the months of summer.As we traveled in the month of Aug ,so fortunately we were able to complete the circuit.While walking just follow the small green arrows signs which are present at certain distances placed on pathway ,they act as route navigator. After Karu look out, the hiking is bit challenging however upon arrival at Karingana look out the view is immensely breathtaking .Kata Tjuta consists of 36 sandstone domes and many domes can be clearly viewed from the Karingana look out.you have an option to relax for a while and immerse yourself with the view which is certainly spectacular. The subsequent part of the circuit consists of many descends and ascends with plenty of uneven rocks. The initial portion of this pathway is comparatively narrow and rocky, for about an 100 meters.So just be little watchful while walking .Also,this section of walk was completely under the sun until we reached the Valley of winds walk car park ,so we kept ourselves dehydrated.There is only one place in the whole circuit where we had an option for refilling the bottles ,also medical radio emergency button was available. Essentials for this circuit walk are water (2 liters),shades,cap/hat,sunscreen,good walking shoes,preferable in trekking attire and camera to capture the picturesque scenery . Don't miss out this wondrous walk whilst you are in Outback Australia.
