The Walpa Gorge Walk follows a rocky creek bed into the heart of Kata Tjuṯa, surrounded by towering red conglomerate domes that rise steeply on either side of the gorge. The track is mostly level but uneven underfoot, with loose stones and sections of rocky ground as it winds deeper into the sheltered gorge system. Along the way, you’ll pass rare desert plants, cycads, and pockets of greenery that survive here thanks to the cooler, protected conditions beneath the cliffs.
