Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
The park protects Uluru and the domes of Kata Tjuta in Anangu Country — walk the base, watch the rock glow at sunrise and sunset, and learn the Tjukurpa at the Cultural Centre.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park protects two of Australia’s most extraordinary landforms — the great monolith of Uluru and the domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) — in a landscape sacred to the Anangu Traditional Owners. A multi-day park pass covers your stay. Within it you can walk the base of Uluru, watch the rock glow at sunrise and sunset, explore the valleys of Kata Tjuta and learn the Tjukurpa (law and stories) at the Cultural Centre. The climb is permanently closed; the rewards are all on foot and in the light.

The National Park — FAQ
Can you climb Uluru?
No. Uluru is deeply sacred to the Anangu Traditional Owners, and out of respect for their wishes the climb was permanently closed in October 2019. Visitors experience Uluru on foot around its base and from the sunrise and sunset viewing areas — a far more rewarding way to know the rock. See our respecting Uluru guide.
Do you need a pass for the national park?
Yes — Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park charges an entry fee (a multi-day pass) that covers your whole stay. Check current details, as fees and conditions change.
What are the main walks?
The Uluru Base Walk is a ~10 km flat loop, with the shorter Mala and Kuniya walks for less time. At Kata Tjuta, the Valley of the Winds and Walpa Gorge are the highlights.
Are there photography restrictions?
Yes — some sacred sites around Uluru have signposted photography restrictions. Please watch for the signs and respect them; elsewhere, photography is welcome.
What is the Cultural Centre?
The Cultural Centre shares Anangu art, culture and Tjukurpa (law and stories), with Maruku dot-painting workshops. It is the best place to understand the meaning of the landscape.
