4 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.

You've added Kings Canyon, Uluru Camel Tours, Maruku Arts, and other attractions to your itinerary. Escape the urban bustle at Uluru and Lungkata Walk. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Walpa Gorge and Uluru Hiking Path. Step out of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park with an excursion to Curtin Springs in Alice Springs--about 1h 20 min away. There's more to do: take in the awesome beauty at Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga.
