Overview

A remote, untracked adventure into pristine and magnificent ancient landscapes where very few venture combined with an opportunity to connect to ourselves more deeply through the practice of yoga.

The trip starts from Kununurra. We begin with a short 4WD trip from Kununurra to Carr Boyd Range. Once we get out of the car we are in untracked nature, setting off to explore stunning waterfalls, magnificent gorges and the wonder of sleeping under the stars as people have for thousands of years. The only evidence of the modern world is what we carry in our backpacks. Our drinking water comes from the pristine creeks we follow and swim in.
