Trip itinerary

Since pioneering the first commercial trek on the Larapinta Trail, World Expeditions has remained a leader in guided walking experiences along one of Australia’s most iconic desert trails. Their exclusive eco-comfort camps have consistently set the benchmark in outback trekking, recognised with multiple accolades at the Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards, including wins in both Adventure Travel and Ecotourism categories. This fully supported trek allows walkers to carry only a daypack as they journey across the most spectacular sections of the Larapinta Trail. From the high ridgelines of the West MacDonnell Ranges, sweeping views stretch across ancient flood plains. The dramatic scale of Ormiston and Serpentine Gorges and the tranquillity of their waterholes offer awe-inspiring moments, while the vibrant colours of Simpsons Gap and Standley Chasm leave a lasting impression. The experience culminates in a sunrise ascent of Mt Sonder, one of the highest peaks in the Northern Territory. Each day ends in comfort at exclusive, architect-designed eco-camps, featuring hot showers, cosy lounges, and heated dining shelters. Guests enjoy gourmet three-course dinners prepared by expert guides around a welcoming campfire. With award-winning camps, passionate and knowledgeable guides, exceptional food, and a thoughtfully crafted itinerary, this journey offers the definitive Larapinta Trail experience.
