Browse Aboriginal artworks at Central Australia’s best art galleries. This is also a good time to ensure you have all articles needed for your Larapinta Trail walk. Overnight Alice Springs (own expense) Day 2: Alice Springs to Simpsons Gap An early start and its bye bye suburbia – hello wilderness! The majestic and serene West MacDonnell Ranges are rich in natural wonders and traditional culture and are considered the best there is in Australia. Our first walk is a 23.4km ‘leg stretch’ commencing from the outskirts of Alice Springs. Some beautiful views can be seen, particularly at Euro Ridge. Our walk is taken casually, a fitting way to relax and immerse in the wonder of the region and to ponder the coming 4 days. Our Ground Support Vehicle will meet us at the picturesque Simpsons Gap and transfer us to our remote camping location. Let the true experience begin as we rest in a region synonymous in the dreamtime (Alcheringa) of the Western Arrernte Aboriginal people. For those who feel they cannot complete the entire 23.4kms, there is an opportunity to finish at Wallaby Gap at 13.5kms and return to the campsite with our support staff.

    9 DAY LARAPINTA TRAIL TREK : A JOURNEY TOWARDS MT SONDER | 9 DAYS | 120 KM THE LARAPINTA TRAIL IS PART OF A STRONG, ANCIENT AND FASCINATING LANDSCAPE. FOR US THE TRAIL PROVIDES AN AVENUE TO BE PART OF THE LAND AND FEEL ENRICHED BY THIS EXPERIENCE. WALKING THROUGH COUNTRY CONNECTS YOU TO THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE. The Larapinta Trail is an extended bushwalking track running west from Alice Springs to Mount Sonder (Rwetyepme); its 223 kilometres are fast gaining a reputation for offering one of the finest walking experiences in the world through the steep red slopes of the West MacDonnell Ranges/National Park (Tjoritja). The ranges rise dramatically from the Central Australian desert typifying the rugged landscapes of the Red Centre with the changing hues of the mountain peaks, rolling hills and dry river valleys made famous in the paintings of Albert Namatjira. Beginning our trek near the eastern end of the trail and ending on the summit of Mt Sonder, the 9 day trek is a selection of highlights along the trail, allowing you to enjoy some of the most spectacular views from ridges, gorges, mountain peaks and within Ormiston Pound. The trail around Standley Chasm offers stunning rugged landscapes that only a privileged few are able to explore. Accommodation is at two of Trek Larapinta’s private semi-permanent eco-camps, with short transfers to the start and end of each day’s hike. This is a day pack hiking adventure. www.treklarapinta.com.au [email protected] 1300 133 278 #treklarapinta WHAT’S INCLUDED IMPORTANT NOTES • All meals and snacks from lunch on Day 1 to lunch on The 9 day trek requires a moderate to high level of Day 9 and all catering equipment.
