34 days in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Itinerary

Please note that visitors are no longer allowed to trek up Uluru.

Located right in the center of Australia, the national park boasts perhaps the country's most iconic natural symbol and a sacred place for the region's indigenous people--as well as Kata Tjuta, a collection of 36 red rocks forming an equally distinctive sight.

Uluru and Walpa Gorge are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Kuniya Walk and Curtin Springs. The adventure continues: stroll through Uluru Hiking Path, go for a walk through Field of Light, take an in-depth tour of Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, and admire the verdant scenery at Valley of the Winds.
