About Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
 

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, located in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, is famous for its massive sandstone monoliths—Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Covering around 507,000 acres, this park is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for both its natural environment and cultural significance. Uluru, rising 348 meters above the desert floor, is a sacred site for the local Anangu people and is adorned with ancient rock paintings. Kata Tjuta, a group of 36 domed rock formations, offers equally mesmerizing views and significant cultural relevance. Visitors can explore these landscapes via a variety of walking trails and guided tours, including the popular Base Walk around Uluru and the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta. The park is not only a haven for hikers but also offers the chance to experience vibrant sunsets and star-filled skies, enriching its appeal to photographers and nature lovers alike.
