This new multi-day hike is the ultimate way to experience Uluṟu

The Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Signature Walk will welcome hikers in 2026.

The Tasmanian Walking Company is launching a new, multi-day hike across Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park in the Northern Territory. Opening to the public in 2026, the exclusive Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Signature Walk will span 54 kilometres over five days and four nights.

Starting near the colossal domes of Kata Tjuṯa, hikers will be fully immersed in the desert landscape as soon as their boots hit the dirt. Each day will involve traversing many of the remote tracks that weave through the heritage-listed park, with a team of highly experienced guides leading small groups of up to just 14 people.

Developed in consultation with Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people (Aṉangu), the Country’s Traditional Owners, the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Signature Walk is as much about people as it is place. The hike will create a minimum of 20 positions in the first 10 years of business, with revenue-sharing agreements aimed to directly benefit local Aṉangu communities. Respect is a guiding tenet throughout, with guests learning about Aṉangu culture and history through Indigenous-led storytelling sessions, educational workshops and lessons in land management practices along the way.

The exclusive hike promises to showcase the Red Centre in all its glory. Crest rust-red dunes scattered with native Mulga shrub, wind through towering rock formations and hike through some of the world’s most untouched landscapes. At the end of each day, you’ll witness the world’s best sunset unfold in front of you before the sky opens up to serene views of the Milky Way.

The first two nights of the hike are spent sleeping under the stars at the company’s environmentally sustainable eco camps, followed by a two-night stay at its private lodge. Each evening, guides don their aprons to prepare and cook up a delicious meal for the group to enjoy under the stars.

The final day of Tasmanian Walking Co’s new hike will end at Uluṟu, arguably Australia’s most iconic landmark. The massive sandstone monument stands at 348 metres high and is estimated to be around 550 million years old.

Situated in the heart of Australia, the nearest major town of Alice Springs is over 465 kilometres away by car, so visitors are encouraged to stay and play for a while. Why not reward yourself with a luxurious stay at Longitude 131°? The five-star resort offers unobstructed views of Uluṟu, with luxury tents, private pools and a relaxing spa.
