This 8-day Papua New Guinea vacation takes you into the bush to visit remote villages, encounter Indigenous cultures, and gain insight into live as it’s been lived for thousands of years. It features moderate accommodations, and shared tours, and is perfect for globetrotters that want to go well off the beaten track.
Your journey across Papua New Guinea begins in Port Moresby where you’ll meet your tour staff and board your flight to Mount Hagen, a town in the Wahgi Valley. After a night on the perches of Mount Kuta overlooking the valley, you’ll fly onward to Karwari, which serves as your entry point to the dense jungles and remote villages of the mainland. You’ll have two days in Karawari to explore the surrounding jungle. Head up the waterways of the Karawari River alongside canoe boatmen and visit villages where you can admire the intricate artworks and unique ways of life of the Indigenous inhabitants. You’ll also have a chance to see magnificent animal life, including the colourful birds that live in the area.
From Karawari connect back to Mount Hagen to explore the Wahgi Valley and surrounding areas. You’ll meet the Melpa people, who continue to live subsistence lifestyles and have a chance to learn about their culture and ways of interacting with the natural world. If you love flowers, you’ll also be in luck as you’ll spot a stunning range of orchids and other tropical blooms.
The final stop on your trek across Papua New Guinea is Port Moresby, where you’ll spend a night exploring the nation’s capital. You’ll then return to the airport to connect back home.
