Australia Travel丨One-day Tour to Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is located in Watarrka National Park in central Australia, about 300km from Uluru National Park and 460km from Alice Springs. This is one of the most spectacular canyons in 🇦🇺. The colors of the rocks in the canyon are very rich, including milky white, yellow, orange, brown, light purple, dark purple, etc., which will show different colors depending on the intensity of the sunlight. If it is matched with the cloudless blue sky, the colors are really beautiful~ There are a total of 4⃣️ hiking routes in the Valley of the Kings, 2⃣️ of which are suitable for ordinary tourists, and two are suitable for professional hikers. If you are not physically fit enough, you can choose the hiking trail below the canyon, which is relatively easier, but you need to return by the original route, which takes about 1 hour. If you are physically fit, you must try the 6km hiking trail. You can see steep rock walls, deep canyons, spiral ladders and desert oases along the way. The whole journey takes about 3.5 hours. Don't go back. Although it is 6km, it is not tiring to walk. It's just that the uphill road at the beginning will take some effort. You have to climb up in one breath. The road after that is easy to walk, and there are beautiful scenery to accompany you~ 🚏How to get there: 🔸Self-driving On the way, you can rest and adjust at the Curtin Springs rest stop in the Kings Creek. There is a small shop selling hot drinks and food, and you can also see ostriches~ 🔸AAT Kings long-distance bus Tickets can be purchased at the visitor center of Uluru Resort 🔸"Kings Valley One-Day Tour" organized by Uluru local travel agency 📌Tips: 🔸On the way to the Kings Valley, you will pass by the "fake Uluru" Connor Rock, remember to check in. 🔸When hiking, pay attention to sun protection and drink enough water to prevent heat stroke or dehydration. 🔸Wear a pair of high-heeled sneakers or hiking shoes🥾 🔸Don’t wear dark clothes such as black or navy blue, because there are a lot of flies in the canyon and they like these colors. 🔸When taking photos, be sure to be careful where you step and do not take photos in ⚠️ dangerous places. 🔸There are no toilets on the 6km hiking route in the Valley of the Kings. 🚻There are only toilets at the entrance of the scenic area. 🔸 From November to March of the following year, if the temperature exceeds 36°C, the Valley of the Kings scenic area will be closed.

Uluṟu Coach Sunset Viewing Area

Dreaming of that iconic outback sunset? Petermann, Australia delivers big time with its jaw-dropping Uluṟu Coach Sunset Viewing Area 🌅. The highlight? Watching those magical colors dance over Uluṟu — totally bucket-list vibes! Top Spot to Visit: - Uluṟu Coach Sunset Viewing Area Address: Old Ayers Rock Olgas Rd, Petermann NT 0872, Australia Opening Hours: 06:00–07:30 (year-round) Best time to go: Hit that golden hour! Arrive early to claim a front-row spot for the epic color show across the rock. Sunset at Uluṟu is honestly an experience you'll never forget — the whole rock glows and shifts colors as the sun dips. If you’re after those Insta-perfect shots, don't forget your camera and be ready to snap fast; the colors change quickly! My top tip? Bring a water bottle and some snacks; there’s nowhere to grab food on-site, and trust me, you’ll want to stick around until the very last ray. Layer up — desert evenings can get chilly, especially from May to August. The viewing area is easy to reach if you’re on a coach tour, but if you’re driving yourself, just follow Old Ayers Rock Olgas Rd for direct access. Getting Around: Your best bet is a coach tour for zero stress, or rent a car for maximum flexibility if doing a road trip. Parking is free and easy! Food Recommendation: Pack a picnic to enjoy while you wait — think sandwiches, fruit, and plenty of water. Quick Tips: No visa required for Aussies; international travelers should check requirements in advance. Bring cash for local souvenirs and prep for dry conditions — extra moisturizer helps! #UluruSunset #AustraliaTravel #PetermannNT #OutbackAdventure
