Valley of the Winds Walk

Highlights

Valley of the Winds is an exciting adventure that takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of Kata Tjuta. This 7.4-kilometre circuit offers two stunning lookout points where you can take in incredible views of the ancient rock formations. The early morning is the best time to walk—you might even spot kangaroos hopping through the area!

Fun fact: Kata Tjuta means “many heads” in the Anangu language, referring to the 36 domes that make up this unique site. Be sure to bring plenty of water, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a hat to stay safe in the desert heat.

Adult Supervision Recommended

With steep trails and the potential for extreme heat, it’s important to have an adult accompany you on this walk for safety.
