Blue Mountains National Park: What you should know before visiting

The Blue Mountains is an Australian national park located in the heart of New South Wales and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, tourists can get a real aesthetic pleasure and excitement from the scenery and entertainment.

Visitors to this park can observe the beauty of valleys, rivers, lakes, rocks and plants, but this can only be done at a right time. Wyandotte Daily told us when it is better to visit the Blue Mountains.

Tourist season

The best time to experience and see the local beauty is during the peak season. From December to February, this place becomes the epicentre for foreign visitors who merge into a single stream and do not allow you to feel the solitude and special, cosy atmosphere.

Rainy season

Rainfall in the park lasts from March to May, turning the trails into mud and making hiking slippery and almost impossible. In addition, due to the rains, clouds cover the sky and make the area less interesting to observe.

Indigenous heritage

To appreciate the cultural nuances of this site and the traditions of the GuriNgai and Darug peoples, it is better to visit during the GuriNgai Festival, which reveals the culture, art and heritage of indigenous communities.

Navigation and transportation

The park is located 50 kilometers from Sydney. You can get there by car, public transport, train or bus.

Accommodation

The towns of Katoomba and Leura, which are close to the Blue Mountains National Park, offer tourists a wide range of accommodation options. There are both bed and breakfast hotels and luxury resorts that provide excellent service and are perfectly integrated into nature.
