Trekking in Papua New Guinea is sometimes difficult because of high mountains, impenetrable rainforests, fast
flowing rivers and deep valleys. Trekking in the Highlands is exciting, fun and challenging because of the high and
rugged terrain.  With a cold temperature of around 24 degree Celsius trekking is sometimes cool and fun. Most  of
the trek routes are graded moderate. Mt. Giluwe (4368m) is the second highest mountain after Mt. Wilhelm (4509m)
and Mt Hagen is 3800 meters above sea level.

Trekking Mt. Hagen takes about 4 hours and for amateurs, it can take up to 5
hours. A beautiful view from the summit overlooking Mt. Hagen and Nebilyer
Valley is guaranteed and this should excite photographers and adventurers. 
Looking further north is Enga Province which can be viewed after 45 minutes
walk through the ridges. There are small lakes and ponds around the top of
the mountain.  Strong wind blows around  the summit and trekkers must take
precaution in case they fall off the ridges.
The track offers many beautiful and exotic orchids, extraordinary plants and
flowers and insects.  Aim for the summit early before it is covered with white
clouds.  In the afternoon, descend to Base Camp at Magic Mountain Nature
Lodge. Rated: Moderate.
Mt Giluwe shares borders with Western Highlands to the north west and
Southern Highlands to the west.  It is known as the world's highest volcanic
summit -  highest volcano above sea level.  Transfer to Kargoba, an old
high altitude agriculture research station on a 4 wheel drive and walk
through the grassland trails and eventually into the forest.
Overnight at Base Camp in traditional huts.  The night becomes difficult
because of cold temperatures and it can be uncomfortable in the traditional
huts. This is an opportunity to acclimatize to the altitude. Extra warm
clothing, your sleeping bag and an open log fire should keep you warm and
comfortable.  Take an early morning hike up the steep mountain face
towards the ridges that lead to the summit. This is highly adventurous and
an experience to relish. Tracks to the summit are sometimes difficult and it
is wise to seek local advise. In the afternoon, return to base camp and if
time permits, walk back to Kargoba and on to a waiting vehicle to Magic
Mountain. Rated: High to Moderate.
Take a 4 wheel drive vehicle to Betty's Lodge at Kegesugl. Overnight and be
ready for an early morning hike to Base Camp at Lake Piunde and Yaundo. 
Spend the afternoon exploring the lakes, extensive grassland and
sub-alpine forest. Next morning, take a pre-dawn hike to the summit
beginning your walk between 12 midnight and 1pm. You will reach the
summit between 5.30-6.00am. The view from the summit is incomparable
and a truly magical experience. Track back to Base Camp and overnight.
Next morning, return to Kegesugl and drive onto your next destination.

Trekking in Tari is fascinating because of its landscapes and different village
settings. Start trekking from Lumuria village to Karinda to Lake Mirinda to
Lakawanda and back to Tari by vehicle. Overnight in each village and
experience different culture displays and performance.

An opportunity to cover many villages and their settings. Also great fun
with locals who are anxious to know about your visit.
Village trekking may be difficult because of high mountain terrains, deep
valleys, fast flowing rivers but exciting and great adventure. Retire back to
Magic Mountain Nature Lodge in the afternoon.
