Top Highlights

  • Todd MallThe Araluen centre holds one of the best collections of Central Desert painting anywhere, and it is the right first stop.
  • Simpsons GapThe range is 350 million years old and the waterholes in it are permanent, which is why they matter enormously here.
  • Kings CanyonThe rim walk starts with five hundred steps and then runs level around a hundred-metre sandstone wall.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Worth every rupee.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Would send friends their way.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.
