Walking Landing - Hero

Walking - Trekking

Awaken your senses walking through the lush monsoon forests of the tropical north or challenge yourself trekking through the rocky red heart of the Northern Territory.

Northern Territory has an extraordinary number of walking trails, from those that ramble through the rich tropics, to trekking rocky outcrops and chasms.

Discover the mystery of Uluru - Australia’s most recognisable natural wonder on a 9.4 kilometre base walk. The Jatbula Trail walk will take you into the heart of Nitmuluk National Park. It meanders through one of the world’s largest collections of aboriginal rock art.

The Larapinta Trail, recognised as one of the world’s top walking trails, travels along the spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs, while the Giles Track traverses the soaring sandstone walls of Kings Canyon and finishes at Kathleen Springs.

To fully discover Litchfield National Park, strap on your boots and hit the Tabletop Track, a 39 kilometre walk. Step off the plane, get out of the car and explore the Northern Territory on foot.
