Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Ayers Rock, Australia
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to Uluru, also referred to as Ayers Rock, a red sandstone monolith located in the heart of Australia's Red Center. The site features great hiking, colorful views and Aboriginal pictographs.
Although many visitors come to Uluru intent on hiking to the top, Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, who request that visitors respect their culture by not climbing the rock. I highly recommend taking the Base Walk around Uluru instead. This gives you the best views of Uluru in a variety of lights and angles and allows you to get close up looks at its impressive pictograph sites.

Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) Australia, Kata Tjuta National Park
During our visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park we talk to one of the Anangus living there. He tells us that his tribe have decided FOR tourism on their land. Nevertheless, they are surprised that so many people come to their land to look at a red rock in the desert - and then trample on their holy places while climbing Uluru. That is not the only thing the rock climbers do: they relieve themselves on the mountain, the shoe rubbish paired with all other garbage washes the next rain down the mountain and that burdens the unique nature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The climb hasn't been expressly forbidden up to now, it didn't cost any extra money either. Only at the foot of the path was a sign indicating that the Anangus ask visitors not to climb up and thus respect their wishes. The ranger of the national park explained to us that the Aboriginals perceive people as adults who are able to make their own decisions based on information. We think this is right, but it is difficult in Australia: Honestly, if there are signs in the whole country saying what you are not allowed to do, and rarely what you are allowed to do, how can you assume that common sense is needed here? That has been completely lost with so much regulation! Our decision had been clear for a long time: We will NOT climb Uluru. As guests in every country, we naturally respect the wishes of our hosts.

Valley of Winds Walk in Winter - Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
This video is about my trip to Uluru - Kata Tjuta National back in June 2010. I did only half of the valley of winds walk in the morning as my flight was leaving around lunch time. I then went back and did the full walk in October, 2013. But it was too hot even just around the beginning of October. So the best time to visit the red centre is still the winter time.

Uluru, Ayers Rock, Northern Territory, Australia, Oceania
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock and officially gazetted as Uluru / Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road. Kata Tjuta and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to a plethora of springs, waterholes, rock caves, and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The development of tourism infrastructure adjacent to the base of Uluru that began in the 1950s soon produced adverse environmental impacts. It was decided in the early 1970s to remove all accommodation-related tourist facilities and re-establish them outside the park. In 1975, a reservation of 104 square kilometres (40 sq mi) of land beyond the park's northern boundary, 15 kilometres (9 mi) from Uluru, was approved for the development of a tourist facility and an associated airport, to be known as Yulara. The camp ground within the park was closed in 1983 and the motels closed in late 1984, coinciding with the opening of the Yulara resort. In 1992, the majority interest in the Yulara resort held by the Northern Territory Government was sold and the resort was renamed Ayers Rock Resort. Since the park was listed as a World Heritage Site, annual visitor numbers rose to over 400,000 visitors by the year 2000. Increased tourism provides regional and national economic benefits. It also presents an ongoing challenge to balance conservation of cultural values and visitor needs. Admission to the park costs A$25 per person and provides a three day pass. Passes are non-transferable and all passes are checked by park rangers. Despite being discouraged by its traditional owners, some visitors still climb Uluru. A chain handhold added in 1964 and extended in 1976 makes the hour-long climb easier, but it is still a long (800 m/0.5 mi) and steep hike to the top, where it can be quite windy. It is recommended individuals drink plenty of water while climbing, and those who are unfit, suffer from vertigo or medical conditions restricting exercise, do not attempt it. Climbing Uluru is generally closed to the public when high winds are present at the top. There have been at least 35 deaths relating to recreational climbing since such incidents began being recorded. The local Aṉangu do not climb Uluru because of its great spiritual significance. They request that visitors do not climb the rock, partly due to the path crossing a sacred traditional Dreamtime track, and also due to a sense of responsibility for the safety of visitors. The visitors guide says the climb is not prohibited, but we prefer that, as a guest on Aṉangu land, you will choose to respect our law and culture by not climbing. On 11 December 1983, the Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawke, promised to hand back the land title to the Aṉangu traditional custodians and caretakers and agreed to the community's 10-point plan which included forbidding the climbing of Uluru. The government, however, set access to climb Uluru and a 99-year lease, instead of the previously agreed upon 50-year lease, as conditions before the title was officially given back to the Aṉangu. In 2009, the Australian government indicated that climbing Uluru may no longer be allowed under the proposed Draft Management Plan 2009–2019. The public has been invited to comment on the plan prior to submission to the Minister for the Environment. Several controversial incidents on top of Uluru in 2010, including a striptease, golfing and nudity, led to renewed calls for banning the climb. The Aṉangu also request that visitors do not photograph certain sections of Uluru, for reasons related to traditional Tjukurpa beliefs. These areas are the sites of gender-linked rituals and are forbidden ground for Aṉangu of the opposite sex to those participating in the rituals in question. The photographic restriction is intended to prevent Aṉangu from inadvertently violating this taboo by encountering photographs of the forbidden sites in the outside world. The park has a hot desert climate and receives an average rainfall of 284.6 mm (11.2 in) per year. The average high temperature in summer (December–January) is 37.8 °C (100.0 °F), and the average low temperature in winter (June–July) is 4.7 °C (40.5 °F). Temperature extremes in the park have been recorded at 46 °C (115 °F) during the summer and −5 °C (23 °F) during winter. UV levels are extreme between October and March, averaging between 11 and 15 on the UV index.
