Day 1. Arrival in Alice Springs and the beginning of the journey
Our tour begins in Alice Springs - a small but important town in the center of Australia, which is the starting point for most trips to the red desert. This city was founded in the 1870s and has since become an important transport hub and cultural center of the region. After arriving in Alice Springs, we will go on a tour of local attractions, including the Simpson National Park, where you can see unique views of the desert landscapes and get acquainted with the flora and fauna typical of central Australia. We will also visit the cultural center, where we will learn about the history of the Aboriginal people, as well as see the arts and crafts that convey the spirit and culture of this region. In the evening, we will have a traditional barbecue dinner in the open air to enjoy delicious Australian cuisine and beautiful views of the desert.
Day 2. Journey to Uluru and acquaintance with its mysticism
On the second day of the trip, we will go to one of the most famous and mystical sites in Australia - Uluru (Ayers Rock). Uluru is a huge monolith, more than 340 meters high and surrounded by a desert. This place is sacred to the Anangu Aboriginal people, who consider it a home for spirits. Along the way, we will stop at viewpoints to admire Uluru from different angles and learn more about its geographical and cultural significance.
After arriving at Uluru-Kata Tjutu National Park, we will take a tour where guides will tell you about the myths and legends associated with this monolith. We will also visit local cultural and information centers, where we will learn about the traditional way of life of the Aboriginal people and their relationship with the natural elements. In the evening, we will spend time in the desert, enjoying the magic of the sunset, when Uluru is transformed and begins to change its color - from red to orange and purple.
Day 3. Exploring Kata Tjutu and spiritual practices
The third day of our tour is dedicated to exploring the second famous site in this region - Kata Tjutu, or "Oligarch Mountains". These unique mountains are made up of many large rock pillars that create a completely amazing and unusual landscape. We will spend the day exploring trails and canyons that lead to amazing landscapes and an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of pristine nature. During the journey, we will not only enjoy the views, but also learn about the religious and cultural aspects that made this place so significant for the natives.
After walking around Kata Tjutu, we will have a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the spiritual practices of the indigenous people. In one of the specialized centers, we will take part in a spiritual ceremony conducted by the natives and get the opportunity to learn about traditional methods of connecting with nature, animals and the spirits of our ancestors. This day will end in the desert at a lookout point, where an evening ritual will be organized with singing, dancing and telling ancient myths.
Day 4. Desert Sunset and Return to Alice Springs
On the final day of the tour, we will embark on a desert excursion to immerse ourselves in the culture and customs of the local people. We will visit several sacred sites such as waterholes, ancient rites and caves that were important to the spiritual life of the Aboriginal people. Guides will explain how the inhabitants of these territories used natural resources for survival, as well as share the history of their traditional beliefs and rituals.
To finish the day, we will drive back to Alice Springs, where a farewell dinner under the stars will be held, where guests can share impressions of the trip and discuss their experiences in the desert. The final evening in this remote corner of the world will allow you to relive everything you have seen and feel how the world of nature and spiritual practice come together as one.
