Description

Several walk variants start from here: Karu lookout (1 hour, 2.2 km return) The track to the first lookout is moderately difficult and has some loose rocks to negotiate. However, the views from the lookout are absolutely jaw-dropping. Karingana lookout (2.5 hours, 5.4 km return) Past the Karu lookout, the track to the Karingana lookout takes you down into the valley and creek beds. It is challenging in sections with many steps and some steep spots. Valley of the Winds loop (3-4 hours 7.5km) Continue past the Karingana lookout through the Mulga to rejoin the trail returning via Karu Note: The Valley of the Winds is a culturally sensitive men's area. Anangu ask that you don't take any video or photographs of Kata Tjuta throughout this walk. You are welcome to take close up photographs of flora, fauna and people, however; please refrain from capturing any images of the rock formations. According to Anangu culture, these rock formations hold knowledge that should only be learned in person and on location by those with the cultural authority to do so. By respecting Anangu's wishes, you are ensuring the continuation of Anangu cultural beliefs and the protection of their spirituality.
