Welcome to the Highlands of PNG!

Welcome to the highlands of Papaua New Guinea. Media, the world over, had portrayed the country with much negativity. Many people who have never been to the highlands of this beautiful country may believe or accept the reported views. But as the saying stays, PNG is the land of unexpected, and the highlands of PNG is so vasted with many beautiful things and very friendly people. You'll hardly get a free assistance else where in the world but in the highlands of PNG - its different - an hospitality and warm welcome is always there - you'll hardly miss it - people will be always happy to help you. People who have visited the places in the highlands always talk about it and love the country. Towards the end of this year - 2013 (November), we are expecting a visit all the way from Europe. This is a father (Dan) and his daughter (Alexandra) who have a sincere desire to climb the Mount Giluwe, the highest volcano in the Pacific Oceania and considered the 7 volcanic summits. It is the second highest mountain in Papua New Guinea at 4,367 metres. It is located in the Southern Highlands province and is an old shield volcano with vast alpine grasslands. Dan and Alexandra have been travelling to other volcano summits and this is their fifth on their record. They have climbed other mountains in Iran, Mexico or Russia. More of their adventure is found HERE
