Simbu Province
HEART OF THE HIGHLANDS
You’ll leave Simbu feeling invincible after conquering Mount Wilhelm, Papua New Guinea’s highest mountain (4,509m).
Bordered by Madang to the north and the Gulf to the south, Simbu’s provincial capital, Kundiawa, sits beside a spectacular airstrip, built on a sloping ridge beneath the towering mountains. Cold weather gear is recommended in these occasionally snowy mountaintops. The province is dotted with a number of hospitable guesthouses that will accommodate your every trekking and touring request.
MUST SEE
- Spend a day (or overnight) at Betty’s Lodge, a trout and rabbit farm at the base of Mount Wilhelm.
- Discover rock paintings and the Keu Caves at the Nambaiyufa Amphitheatre close to Chuave.
- Take a panorama of the Madang coast (104km away) on a clear day from the very top of the country, Mount Wilhelm.
HOW TO GET THERE
Take a domestic flight from Port Moresby to Goroka then drive on the Highlands Highway through Daulo pass to Kundiawa.
