Explore the jungle of Baliem Valley and meet the Dani tribe that remained unknown from the outside world until around 1930s in this short expedition into one of the last wild extensions in the world. Baliem Valley territory is very attractive with its wonderful untouched nature, but it requires a detailed planning for your visit. The valley is cool especially at night, but the “king” of noon can burn. It is dominated by the steep Sudirman mountain range. In the morning, mist and clouds often hide the higher coasts which creates a mystical environment. You will be able to enjoy this place with daily trekking and return to the hotel at night. Suitable program for those who want the experience without having to sleep in sleeping bags. Get ready for an exciting adventure into wilderness!
Welcome to Wamena! Our starting point to visit Baliem Valley & the Dani Tribe. The valley will remind you of The Lord of The Rings for the great mountains covered with tropical jungle and surrounded by the Baliem River. Arriving at the airport, we will be waiting for you with a sign with your name. Your guide will take you to the hotel to check-in and give you a short introduction to your program.
You can take advantage of the rest of the day to relax at the hotel or visit the city. You can also visit the traditional market, walking for about 15-20 minutes and see how they carry out all the transactions. After visiting the traditional market, you can tour the city with traditional transportation, called Becak. Without a doubt, it will be a very fun experience.

After that visit, we will have a picnic lunch on the mountain and back down the road to find the Honai Kurulu tribe. They keep some of their mummified ancestors for hundreds of years. Let’s enter the neighboring villages seeing how they live, communicating with them, enjoying the smiles and games of children.
