International connections are via Port Moresby. You can walk down to Kokoda and on to Popondetta, scenes of many battles during WW2. The local villages are friendly people who would be happy to offer guide services. Temperatures range from a few degree to 15C during the day and 0 to -10 overnight. Weather can be extreme and 12 local people died of exposure during a few days of bad weather in 1998.
Water is available at many places along the treks and is OK to drink.
No people live above the 3000M line. If you would like to contribute toward our photo collection for this or any other peak, please visit our Photo Submissions page. Copyright 1999 Peakware. All rights reserved.
