Ideal for the confident and independent traveller with support in the background, our self guided treks are fun and flexible. Walking self guided and at your own pace is one of the best ways to truly appreciate the immensely diverse and unique landscapes, flora and fauna of Australia’s Red Centre. The trail takes you through narrow canyons, stunning gorges and forests of mulga and mallee, over high ridgelines and around idyllic waterholes, spending each night under the expansive star-filled Outback sky. On this itinerary you can choose to complete any consecutive 6 of the 12 Larapinta sections, allowing you to customise your itinerary and experience some of the highlights of this captivating trail. On this 6 day self guided trek you'll be provided with the essential equipment for experiencing Outback Australia by foot. We'll set you up with comprehensive maps, quality lightweight trekking food, cooking utensils and stove as well as tent and sleeping gear, an EPIRB, and invaluable advice from our experienced guides prior to your departure. World Expeditions are pioneers of this iconic trek and we are proud to support you on your independent journey by providing the best equipment and incomparable local knowledge. A self guided walk along the Larapinta is suited to experienced walkers comfortable with their sense of direction and map reading, ability to carry a full pack, and used to being independent in the outdoors. We also offer 9 and 12 day Larapinta Trail self guided trips.
