Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is named after two of Australia’s most spectacular sites: the world-famous sandstone monolith of Uluṟu and the red domes of Kata Tjuṯa.

Our dual World Heritage-listed park is in the heart of the Central Australian desert, about 450 km from Alice Springs.

The land is owned by Aṉangu people and leased to Parks Australia, who manage the national park in collaboration with Traditional Owners. The nearby Ayers Rock Resort at Yulara provides accommodation, restaurants, shops, fuel and other essential services to park visitors.

As well as its world-famous geological formations and extraordinary Indigenous Culture, the park is home to a fascinating array of plants and animals, including many rare species.
