Hiking in Papua New Guinea

Structure of the soil that does not mean the island of Papua New Guinea makes a perfect place for serious climbers. For a little history and fantastic scenery, go to the Kokoda track, the route along the 60 miles past the top of the Owen Stanley Range. History buff will find this site as a battlefield of World War II, the point of convergence of Japan and Australia.

If you are looking for height, go to the top: the top Wilhelm is the highest point on the island, the place is quite scenic and can be reached, depending on your fitness level. Leave early to arrive at dawn for a chance. The best look at the beautiful scenery.


Everywhere you go, beware will the weather conditions: the night is cold enough and hot and humid afternoon. There is also a risk of malaria and frequent flooding in the lowlands during the rainy season. Come out with the equipment and know enough.
