Larapinta Trail - End to End

15 days - from $3890

A more challenging trek amongst Central Australia's most spectacular desert mountain ranges

Australia’s newest long distance walking track along the backbone of the West MacDonnell Ranges, the Larapinta Trail is considered to be one of Australia's finest walks. Extending west from Alice Springs to Mount Sonder, the Larapinta Trail covers a distance of 232 kilometres, offering a unique trek through the heart of the Australian outback,
As the trail winds through the rugged landscape, rocky outcrops surround scenic trails that cut a swathe through the awe-inspiring gorges and expansive plains. The deep reddish colours of the West MacDonnell Ranges form a spectacular backdrop to our trek, whilst camping at night under a canopy of stars allows us to absorb the ambience of the stark Australian outback. This is a challenging trip for experienced trekkers looking to complete one of the great walks in this hauntingly beautiful part of the world.
