Our elders have so much wisdom and knowledge about life, our communities and our planet. Let's make sure we honour this wisdom by creating opportunities for the generational sharing of this knowledge and ensure it stays alive and is passed down from generation to generation.

Let’s celebrate our elders and keepers of traditional know-how that allow us to live simply from local resources.

The versatile sago palm. Feeding us. Cooling us. Sheltering us.

When we retain our local skills we honour our elders. Thank you Pwencham.

As most of the world knows, a devastating landslide in Enga province in Papua New Guinea almost completely wiped out a remote hillside village when a chunk of Mount Mungalo collapsed in the early hours last week. According to the local disaster office, the landslide caused "major destruction to buildings, food gardens and caused major impact on the economic lifeline of the country". We believe that TOURISM can be used for POSITIVE PURPOSES, so this being said, we are offering a 5% discount on our treks that will be contributed to the relief efforts for the local community affected by the landslide. The discount is applicable for both treks (the 11-day classic trek and our 4-day immersion trek) that are booked with a paid deposit in the next 60 days (so booking in June or July) for travel through 2023 and 2024.

When natural disaster strikes, we all know it can strike anywhere. It takes all hands to help to put things back together so please support where you can. Local communities depend on the outside to provide what they are not capable of.

If a trek along the has been on your radar, now is the time for you to act. Contact us for more details and let’s discuss how your trek can create BIG IMPACTS for so many lives right NOW when it REALLY MATTERS.
