NAKANAI RANGES

The Nakanai Mountains in the heart of New Britain are among the wildest regions of the Bismarck Archipelago. With one of the lowest population densities in the region, an unspoilt nature and a unique communicating river system in Papua New Guinea, you will have to go through an agency to discover all its secrets. If Kokopo's guides are able to organize this real expedition, the most experienced is in Pomio itself: Nakanai Ranges Tours & Adventures (✆ +675 7335 3706). The trek itself is 70 km long, for at least 5 days, or even 4 for the most enduring walkers. On the way, a few villages to provide you with food and accommodation after dark. If the jungle is thick and slows down the progression, wonders are hidden there, such as the Baliem River. In recent years, several professional rafters from around the world have been trying to open roads to kayak down the river's rapids. But the task is difficult, since the boats have to be transported on foot, so only experienced rafters can attempt the descent.
