Uluru North-east face

Explore the Uluru North-east face on a return walk starting from Uluru Road. This walk takes you through the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, a natural desert landscape. Enjoy the views and take in the heritage of the area by visiting the Kuniya Piti site, the kitchen caves, and more. The mystifying rock formations found in the area hold deep cultural significance within the local creation stories. Respect Anangu culture by not taking any photographs of the sacred sites, although you can take photographs of Uluru from afar at sunset or with an object blocking the sacred sites. Let us begin by acknowledging the Anangu people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
