Bestowed with abundance nature’s gems and its unrivaled beauty, Darwin is like a whole new world within Australia. From the mild tropical weather to the locals you will see in its streets, the capital of northern territory of Australia is an exotic destination.

Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park, and Berry Springs Nature Reserve are the top must-see destination for travellers. These destinations are a matter of only a few hours’ drive from the city and thus most recommended for tourists on holidays.
