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.
