Experience the Magnificence of these heavy Bilas at the Goroka Show!

The Goroka Show is a vibrant celebration of Papua New Guinea's rich cultural heritage, where the art of bilas takes center stage. Among the most breathtaking sights are the heavy and big sized bilas, intricate adornments worn with pride by the participants. These stunning pieces, made from natural resources like shells, feathers, and plant fibers, signify power, prestige, and deep-rooted cultural traditions.

These bilas at the Goroka Show are not just adornments; they are a living testament to the creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural identity of the Papua New Guinean people. Witnessing these elaborate decorations in person is a truly unforgettable experience, showcasing the profound connection between the people and their land.

Don't miss the chance to see these extraordinary displays of cultural pride and artistry! Join us in september: https://tribesofpapuanewguinea.com/papua-new-guinea-the-famous-goroka-festival-and-the-highlights-of-the-highland-tribes/

Hidden in the highlands of PNG, the Kalam tribe of Simbai showcases a rich cultural heritage. Known for their stunning headdresses made from thousands of emerald green beetle heads and adorned with bird of paradise feathers, these intricate adornments are a sight to behold. Traditional rituals like the "sutim nus" nose-piercing ceremony mark the transition to manhood for boys aged 10-17. Accessible only by small plane or a challenging hike, Simbai's remote location has preserved its authentic way of life. We saw this guy at the Goroka festival in 2023.
