You’re in for a challenging walking trip and an excellent level of fitness is essential. You must be prepared to trek for multiple hours and up to 20km a day with little shade, climbing peaks and ridges over uneven and rocky terrain with a daypack carrying a minimum personal supply of 3 litres of water. The total distance walked on this trip exceeds 60km.
For camping nights, a tent and a stretcher bed with a swag (an Australian style sleeping mat) is provided. Single travellers will be allocated their own tent. A sleeping bag is available to be pre-booked at an additional cost, or you can bring your own.
Pillows and towels are not provided.
Between June and August, nighttime temperatures can drop below zero, so we highly recommend bringing a sleeping bag suitable to the conditions for a more comfortable sleep.
There is a shared toilet and shower block available at the campsite.
The camps are solar powered, supplemented by a generator if required, and there are a number of outlets that can be used to charge personal devices. We recommend bringing a fully charged power bank to recharge your phone or camera, rather than relying solely on power at the camp.
Please note that on this trip you will be staying on Aboriginal land. These are dry zones, so please do not bring any alcohol with you on this trip.

There are quite a few sections where you have to take big steps, so ensuring you are well trained is key. You may also want to consider bringing walking poles. The total distance walked on this trip exceeds 60 km. We walk different sections of the Larapinta Trail each day, rather than the entire trail from start to finish.
On this trip you will be camping under the stars. Tents at our private campsite on Aboriginal land are set up for you already. All you need to bring is your own sleeping bag and a pillow. Remember that between June and August, nighttime temperatures can drop below zero, so we highly recommend bringing a sleeping bag suitable to the conditions for a more comfortable sleep.
