This plan assumes you arrive the evening before Day 1 or early on Day 1.
Day 1: Uluṟu
- Sunrise at Talinguru Nyakunytjaku.
- Morning: Cultural Centre, then the Mala Walk (join the ranger-guided walk if timing works) and Kantju Gorge.
- Midday: rest at Yulara.
- Afternoon: Kuniya Walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole.
- Sunset at the Uluṟu sunset viewing area.
Day 2: Kata Tjuṯa
- Sunrise at the Kata Tjuṯa dune viewing area.
- Morning: Valley of the Winds (start early).
- Afternoon: rest, then Walpa Gorge in late light.
- Evening: Kata Tjuṯa sunset, or the Field of Light.
Notes
- In hot weather, swap long walks to the earliest possible start.
- Pack food and water — there is little to buy inside the park.
If you only want one walk
Choose the Valley of the Winds if you are fit and the weather is cool, or the Base Walk highlights if you prefer flat ground and cultural interpretation. Either way, keep sunrise and sunset as fixed points and plan everything else around them.
Food and water
Pack breakfast for sunrise days, and buy snacks and water at the Yulara supermarket the night before. The Cultural Centre cafe is the only place to buy food inside the park.
Frequently asked questions
Can you see Uluru and Kata Tjuta in one day?
Yes, but you will need an early start and will have limited time at each.
