The Mala walk to Kantju Gorge is a return walk starting from Uluru Road in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Embark on a journey through the untouched beauty of a natural desert landscape, where you'll have the opportunity to explore ancient caves such as Mala Puta, gain insights into Anangu ceremonies and rites of passage, and admire exquisite rock art. The ancestral lineage of the Mala people holds immense significance in the rich tapestry of Tjukurpa. Heaps of interpretive signs along the way inform you about this and more. From the cool Kantju Gorge, immerse yourself in a tranquil sunset experience. There is a free ranger-guided walk following the same path as well. Remember to stay hydrated, protect yourself from the sun, and avoid walking during the hottest hours of the day. 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.
