A world-class desert walk between two of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks – Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa in the Northern Territory, is set to become one of central Australia’s major tourism attractions.
The Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Signature Walk, which will be operated by the Tasmanian Walking Company, will open to visitors in 2026.
Over five days and four nights, the fully guided experience will take guests along the 54-kilometre Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Signature Walk.
Aṉangu Traditional Owners of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, will share stories and knowledge about their ancient Country during the tour, and visitors will also be given the chance to participate in a range of guided activities to learn more about Aṉangu culture and practices in place to protect the World Heritage listed park.
This desert journey into the heart of Australia is the first overnight accommodation offering in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park.
The new walk will benefit local Aṉangu communities, creating at least 20 positions in the first 10 years of business, and through revenue-sharing agreements.
Chair of the Aṉangu Steering Committee, Tapaya Edwards said, “Aṉangu have walked this land for over 30,000 years and we welcome visitors from around the world. This walk has been created in close partnership with Aṉangu and is supported by our community.
“When you come to our Country we want you to slow down and connect with our beautiful home. During the walk we hope you’ll gain a deeper understanding of our stories, art and traditions, and join us in caring for the land. As you walk, you’ll see that our culture is alive and continues to be rich and strong.”
