Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park is a World Heritage Site, owned by the local Anangu Aboriginal people and managed by Parks Australia in cooperation with them.

Uluru, known for many years as Ayers Rock, holds a significant place in the Anangu people’s creation stories and laws, which are known as Tjukurpa and many of these stories relate to how the ancestral beings formed the Rock. The angular ridges and dry creek beds of the MacDonnell Ranges also provide some of the oldest landscape in the world. This region remains as it did 60 million years ago.

Beyond the monolith

Uluru-Kata Tjuta Walk

The five-day Uluru-Kata Tjuta Walk, developed in close consultation with Anangu Traditional Owners, offers an extraordinary experience beyond the iconic Uluru. Stay inside the World-Heritage listed National Park in eco lodges and camps and journey 54 kilometres on foot between Kata Tjuta and Uluru, celebrating culture, landscape, and connection in an outback world that few have walked before. More than just a scenic journey, this walk is an immersion into Aboriginal Australia, with its 65,000 years of history and diverse clans and dialects, representing the oldest continuous living culture on Earth. Guided by Anangu custodians, you’ll hear ancestral stories and gain an unparalleled connection to the land.

Clare Wiggins

My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
