Visit Western Highlands

The Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea are an incredibly diverse, rugged region filled with towering mountains, deep jungle valleys and crystal-clear rivers. This region is home to the Huli and Duna people, who have lived here for centuries and continue to practice their traditional customs and beliefs. Tourists visiting this region can take in spectacular views while hiking through some of the majestic mountain passes or explore local villages. The Mt. Hagen Cultural Show is a great place to experience the unique culture of this area, where visitors can watch traditional dances from around the region. For a more relaxed adventure, tourists can visit Lake Murray Nature Park to explore its lush rainforest trails or take part in bird-watching tours along its picturesque waters. A trip to Mount Wilhelm National Park also offers breathtaking views as well as fascinating historical facts about how it was once used by Japanese forces during World War II.
