5.00An absolute great experience. Mahesh was an excellent guide. Very congenial and knowledgeable. Due to previous days rain and flooding some roads were closed so he altered the trip to give us a very unique experience. We were able to see both the East and West MacDonnell Ranges and the contrast between them.
