Close your eyes and imagine a nice tranquil place high up in the mountains that is surrounded by an evergreen and lush tropical rainforest, flooded with lilting voices of cheerful birds, and constantly charmed by the melodious chords of the cool mountain breeze that is 110% fresher and purer than the big cities of the world; a place where the sound of traffic is replaced by the distant cascades th

at gush gently from the towering blue mountains. From New York to Berlin or from Tokyo to Sydney, if you are tired of the bustles and hustles of a big city life and want to take the most adventurous trip of your life time to one of Lonely Planet’s last frontier Papua New Guinea (PNG), a tiny little mountain hut by Mt. Wilhelm (4,509m) is ever welcoming you to just chill out, relax, and enjoy one of the most peaceful moments of your life. At 2,300m above sea level overlooking the vast Ramu Valley, the undisturbed panoramic view from there is second to none in PNG. With naked eyes, one could see as far as the northern coastlines of Madang with its coral and towering volcanic islands storming bubbly dark red ashes into the distant blue skies. Even the fading eastern end of the razor sharp Finisterre Range a hundred kilometres away is noticeable with a blink. Inarguably, it boasts of having the perfect view of the entire Mt. Wilhelm Range. Its strategic location serves as the hub for tracking activities in the Bismarck Range to four provinces (Madang, Simbu, Jiwaka, and Easter Highlands), which includes climbing Mt. Wilhelm. Nestled beautifully at the end of a major towering ridge top, it is a hot transit point for migrating birds making it a perfect spot for bird watching and scenic look outs. Being less than two years old in the eco-tourism business, we are offering a variety of eco-tourism products (tracking, bird watching, caving, stargazing, kayaking, fishing and the local art and culture) and services (consultations for eco-tourism, environment and conservation, biological researches). There are also other things that may dazzle visitors like witnessing some of the most amazing meteorite showers exploding across thin air, watching fireflies flickering in the mist-filled dark nights, and enjoying some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the world. Snow Pass Eco-Lodge is a Community Based Initiative that was started with the ultimate goal to develop a major long-term sustainable eco-tourism impact project as a viable alternative economic activity that strives to conserve and promote the rich and beautiful natural environment and the exotic local culture to attract tourists and research organizations, which would in turn help improve the livelihoods of the poor and disadvantaged locals. Every visit helps to improve the lifestyle of the locals. If you are planning a trip to PNG and decide to track the mighty Bismarck Range and explore the vast Ramu Valley, do not hesitate to contact us. We may just have the right adventure unlimited package for you and your team ranging from intense and challenging to easy and enjoyable. We have a lot of tracking options that you can choose from which includes bird watching, caving, kayaking, and other activities as well. We are available at: Mobile: +675-70998928 or E-mail: [email protected]. Welcome to Snow Pass! As the name goes, it is the place where the clouds meet the mountains at 9 am daily. Wonder? You should come and check it out yourself!....

How wonderful to have 3 members of the Niugini Dirt bikers led by Ian Nos Ellery lodged with us at Snow Pass Eco-lodge on Saturday, February 1st, 2020. Dark befell them while enroute to Betty’s Lodge at Mt. Wilhelm so they hit the sack at our hideout.

They were welcomed to an electrifying performance by our “Burning Head Dancers of Bundi” that glows the night to an epic lifetime adventure.

Good morning PNG and the world from the top of Bismarck Range @ Snow Pass Eco-lodge, Bundi. We have 4 visitors here last night. Richie Savage is from Melbourne, Victoria. He came up with brother Brown Bolzy Gari and two others last night from Markham Valley, Morobe through the twisty rough Bundi road to Snow Pass. Richie said “I am the happiest man in PNG right now. Just love this amazing place offering million dollar views”. Merry Christmas to you all.

Preparations for the 2020 "Bundi Komba Festival" is well underway at the remote village of Bongonogoi, Emigari in Upper Bundi. 30 cultural groups from 4 provinces (Madang, Simbu, Jiwaka, and Eastern Highlands- the border provinces) are expected to attend this rare food culture festival on the first week of April next year.

Bordering 4 provinces, Bundi is no doubt a haven for very diverse cultures. Often called the "Land of Hundred Mountains", Bundi occupies the central most scenic part o the mighty Bismarck Range just below the foothills of Mt. Wilhlem. An amazingly beautiful place to visit.

Thank you to Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority (PNGTPA) for recognizing this festival and for being the major sponsor for this year's festival. The Bundi Komba (Marita) Festival is the first of its kind in PNG. The festival is an initiative of Kumura Foundation, a local CBO of Bundi to promote sustainable eco-tourism and help improve the livelihood of the poor and disadvantage locals of rural Bundi.

Below is a brief video documentary of this year's festival produce d by Zo Eugene Olangi, Eku Gende and myself. Enjoy the video.

We had 5 tourists from Belgium, Europe visited us yesterday after climbing Mt. Wilhelm. 2 females and 3 males. They left for Bundi Station today and will continue down to Brahman Station at the Ramu Valley tomorrow. They will eventually leave for Madang and return to their home country. Their team leader is Kris Lippens, who is the founder and owner of OFFTRACK, a Belgian-based outdoor tour company. Special thank you also to Betty Higgins of Betty's Lodge, Mt. Wilhelm.

Our visitors really loved it here. The Mt. Wilhelm- Snow Pass- Bundi-Brahman trek- is the fastest way to reach Madang from Simbu and is indisputably very scenic through several passes right in the heart of Bismarck Range.

The following are some of the highlights of their visit with us.
