The flight to Mount Hagen takes us to where “outsiders” entered only in the 1930’s, yet, we have modern comforts while learning much about Highlands culture. The Mount Hagen open air market bursts with colorful activity, a sensory overload of sights and sounds, a photographers paradise. Learn about the fascinating juxtaposition of a frontier town amidst a strong, traditional culture.

Rondon Ridge

Charter transfer from Mount Hagen to Amboin. Visit villages to learn how the Sepik River area differs from the PNG Highlands culture. Photographic opportunities and insights about river culture abound. This is the area Papua New Guinea is justly famous for, with a wide array of arts and crafts, and a life style little changed by modern times. Our insights will enhance your understanding of these villages “at the end of the world”.

 Sepik Spirit

Charter flight to Tari where at 7,100 feet, the air is brisk and conductive to travel. Few outsiders have traveled to this colorful, unspoiled area. Famous for Huli Wig Men, the Tari area will provide memorable photos and recollections. Mingle with tribes who are among the most un-Westernized anywhere. See the strange and exciting juxtaposition of ancient, traditional ways as they’re grafted to the 21st century. Nature walks are amidst spectacular scenery, with rain forest, waterfalls, mountain vistas, and perhaps elusive Birds of Paradise in the wild, all in a truly Shangri-La setting. Authentic, unscripted interaction with the local people differentiates our trip from other PNG trips. Discussions and written information are provided daily.
