Walpa Gorge Walk
Walpa
A gorge walk between the two tallest domes of Kata Tjuta, 2.6 km return, leading into red rock walls about 100 m high.
Walpa means 'wind' in the Anangu language. The walk starts from the car park on the western side of Kata Tjuta, is 2.6 km return, and takes about 1 hour. The path is rock and gravel with some gentle slopes. At the end is a small oasis and a viewing platform, flanked by steep red conglomerate walls, and wind often blows through the gorge. This walk is much shorter than the Valley of the Winds, so it is a good choice for those short of time or with moderate fitness. There is no shade, so bring water and a hat.
