Of the two, Uluru and Kata Tjuta, we actually preferred Kata Tjuta. This was incredible, lumpy round rock-hills projecting out of the flat desert, with incredible green areas and even running water in the desert.
We did the whole circuit walk through the Valley of the Winds. It was steep and rocky in places, but not an issue for those...

Owner description:
Kata Tjuta is Pitjantjatjara meaning ‘many heads’. This spectacular landform lies about 50 kilometres drive from Uluru and Yulara. This area is an Anangu men’s site and is sacred under Tjukurpa(traditional law). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit this place but as with all areas of the park, please stay on the marked tracks.

Big rocks in the middle of nothing! Secret heaven inside the rocks. Do rim walk inside the rocks, you'll love it!

Kata Tjuta for me was a highlight. I loved the 7km walk as it was easy to follow. The dramatic scenery was like nothing I have ever seen before. If you travel to Uluru, this is a must see also. Please don't travel all that way and miss this gem!

This was a great tour from AAT Kings. There was capacity to complete a short walk and sit on a bench at Kata Tjuta, as I had limited mobility. The others went for a walk into the valley. This was a spectacular place to sit and look at the rock formations up close. The cost to the national park was...

We joined the AAT King Ochre Pass tour and took the longer walk. Our guide Adam was very nice and knowledgeable. The weather was pleasant but there were a lot of flies. Based on the TA reviewers' comments, we came prepared with hats and nets. The walk was somewhat strenous for me. My daughter had no problem. The scenery was...

We flew to Ayers Rock and rented a car from the airport. Entry to the park (which includes Uluru as well as Kata Tjuta) costs $25 per person for a 3-day pass. It is spectacular at any time of the day. Be prepared for extreme temperatures from hot to cold. And be prepared for the flies that are everywhere!

Breathtaking. Everything I imagined it to be and more. Just make sure you bring food for a picnic and have done your bathroom breaks. There are no restaurants near the area to preserve the natural beauty of the place.
