NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Put away your passport, some of the most wondrous places on Earth are in our own backyard.

LARAPINTA TRAIL, NT

WHERE Just outside Alice Springs.

One of Australia’s newest hiking trails, the Larapinta trail spans 223km through the Red Centre, from Alice Springs in the east to Mount Sonder in the west.

World Expeditions runs a six-day Classic Larapinta trek from April to September.
