Kata Tjuta - Valley of the Winds is located within Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park and is one of two hiking routes for exploring Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga. The other is the Walpa Gorge trail. The Kata Tjuta - Valley of the Winds loop is arguably one of the most challenging and rewarding hiking routes in the park. It is approx. 7.4 km long and takes 3–4 hours to complete. While it tests your stamina, you can experience the ancient majesty of Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga and enjoy breathtaking views of the Red Centre desert plains. Actually, the Kata Tjuta - Valley of the Winds trail is not particularly difficult, but you need to wear sturdy, durable shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. We recommend starting early in the morning to hear the wind echoing through the valley and the birds singing, experience a unique sense of solitude, and avoid the heat of the day.Petermann · >100km from downtown

The rocks in the canyon are colorful, ranging in color from milky white to brownish yellow to germanium red to deep purple. "Big Foot" and "Braised Pork", with a little imagination, you can create your Kings Canyon memory by naming all kinds of strange-shaped rocks. You may not think that in such a fiery and dry canyon, there is an oasis called the Garden of Eden hidden. Rows of green and deep natural water holes are dotted with red canyon cliffs. If you can't believe it, then go ahead and touch it decisively! The most suitable way to visit Kings Canyon is naturally to climb on foot. The sun is too strong at noon, so the hiking time is early morning and evening. It generally takes 3 hours to hike. There are three main routes on foot in Kings Canyon: one is to take the Kings Creek Walk to the center of the canyon. People with less physical strength are recommended to take this route. You can look up on a viewing platform. Breath-holding canyon cliffs; the other road is the edge trail, which is lined with red rocks and rocks. If there is no one in front of you at the moment, you will have a desolate and exotic feeling, and you will feel like you are on a moonwalk. This route is suitable for physical strength. For better people, it takes about 3-4 hours; the third route has a total length of 21 kilometers, which is suitable for those who are physically crazy. The sun is hot, walking in the canyons, and the wind passing through the wilderness, so just listen to the wind while walking.Petermann · 7.5km from downtown

Uluru (Ayers Rock) is very mystical. Initially, I only booked the sunset and sunrise tours, but that was a tour to view the whole of Uluru from a little distance. I wanted to see it up close, so I joined a tour that went around Uluru. I was able to see it up close and even touch it. There were some areas where I couldn't take photos, so I can't show you everything, but I was impressed by the majesty of nature like I'd never seen before. I recommend it!

Is this a place you must visit once in your life? Calling out Love in the Center of the World... We came during the local summer, which is considered the off-season. There were not many people because it was too hot. We also encountered a rare thunderstorm and the Wilderness Starlight Show was cancelled.

It's so beautiful. Bring enough water and try your strength. It's very dry and there are a lot of flies. Be sure to wear sunscreen. The blue sky, white clouds and the sea are seen. The rocks in this desert scenery will shock you!

[Scenery] I think it is best to use the time from the morning sun to the sunset to visit Kata Tjuta. The hiking trail is rugged due to the long distance! [Fun] Watarrka National Park is worth a visit

I'm here# One of Kata Tjuta Park's famous boardwalks. The sun is shining and the air is fresh. If you don't get drenched in sweat after a walk, you'll definitely feel refreshed. Don't be fooled by the beautiful photos; the walk is actually quite difficult. The fearless Australian giant flies are everywhere, moving slowly and lingering. Just stretch and yawn, and you're guaranteed to swallow a mouthful of flies. It's truly difficult.

In the Aboriginal language, Kata Tjuta means "many heads" and is composed of 36 dome rocks. Like Uluru, it will also emit changing colors with different sunlight. There are two hiking routes to choose from, one is the Valley of the Winds Trail and the other is the Walpa Gorge Trail. The Valley of the Winds Trail is about 7.4 kilometers long and takes about 3 hours to complete; the Walpa Gorge Trail is relatively easier, with a total length of about 2.6 kilometers and takes about 1 hour to complete.

Mutitjulu Waterhole is located on the southwest side of Uluru Ayers Rock. To get to Mutitjulu Waterhole, you need to go through Kuniya Walk, which is 1 km round trip and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Starting from Kuniya parking lot, walk along Kuniya Walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole - this is the habitat of the ancient sacred snake Wanampi. On rainy days, you can see waterfalls along the way. On days with less water and warm weather, you can hear the calls of finches and Australian falcons. We had a clear day that day, so we didn't see the waterfall along the way, but the black part of the rock should be the trace left by the waterfall! In the small canyon that can be deep into the Uluru rock in Mutitjulu Waterhole, there are many local Aboriginal rock paintings that record the legends of the Anangu people living in this area. We stayed in Uluru for 4 days. We arrived in the afternoon of the first day, checked into the hotel, and went to see the sunset view of Ayers Rock (Uluru) in the evening; on the second day, we went to Kings Valley and hiked the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, which is about 6 kilometers long. We walked a total of 14 kilometers that day; on the third day, we drove around Uluru and Ayers Rock, and walked the entire Valley of the Winds Walk, one of the most challenging and worthwhile jungle hiking routes in the park, which is about 7.4 kilometers long in Kata Tjuta. In the evening, we went to Kata Tjuta Viewing Area for sightseeing. In the evening, we also tasted the seafood buffet at Sails in The Desert Hotel Yulara, which cost AUD 75 per person. We walked 18 kilometers in one day; on the fourth day, Uluru Sunrise Viewing Area After sightseeing, we visited the Aboriginal Art Gallery at the cultural center, and then took a flight to Adelaide via Melbourne in the afternoon. The entire itinerary was fully arranged, and all the necessary reservations such as air tickets and accommodation were arranged by my daughter in advance. Although we had a car, we walked 50 kilometers in 4 days (actually only 3 full days). It was an unforgettable journey, and of course we had a lot of fun!
