The experience
The walk begins before dawn with light breakfast (tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits) as you stand at the base of the rock and let the scale of it settle in. Then you start the 10.5 km loop, moving at a steady pace around Uluru with your driver guide. The route passes through sites sacred to the Anangu people, and your guide shares the Tjukurpa (the stories of the Mala people and the blue-tongue lizard) as you walk. The sounds of the desert waking up are part of the rhythm of the morning.
Kantju Gorge is where the walk builds to something unexpected. After rain, water flows down the side of Uluru and drops into the gorge: the tallest waterfall in Central Australia, though it only runs seasonally. Even in dry conditions, the gorge itself is the landmark. Along the way you'll see Aboriginal rock art and hear the story of Kuniya and Liru, two ancestral beings whose presence shapes the landscape. The walk takes about four and a half hours total, and you return to where you started to mark the completion of the base walk.
You travel to and from your hotel in an air-conditioned coach, and the guide provides commentary throughout the day. The pace is moderate (you need a reasonable level of fitness to complete the full loop), and the walk is on natural terrain around the rock itself. Infants travel free but must sit on an adult's lap during the coach portions.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to walk the full circuit around Uluru's base with an Aboriginal guide explaining sacred sites and rock art along the way. Choose the shorter base walk instead if you prefer less ground covered.
