Itinerary
The Larapinta Trail is arguably one of the best desert trails in the world, exploring Tjoritja (or the West MacDonnell Ranges) in Central Australia. Take it on with this six-day trekking trip, where you’ll hike across snaking riverbanks, open desert plains and towering mountains, spending each night in a private campsite on Aboriginal land. Cool off in bright green swimming holes, discover the Indigenous history of the area with your Aboriginal guides and hike across peaks scattered with diverse flora and fauna. Take in sights like Ormiston Gorge and ascend to the top of Mt Sonder. Witness the vast red desert and end the days camping under a blanket of stars.
day 1Alice Springs
Werte! Welcome to Alice Springs or Mparntwe in the language of the Arrernte people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Alice Springs is now located – the heart of the Australian Outback. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you’ll meet your local leader and fellow travellers. During the meeting, your leader will tell you a little bit about the hiking, camping and swimming under the warm Australian sun that awaits you. After, head to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner to get to know your fellow trekkers.
