Goroka Day: Asaro MudmenVillage Tour
As the main hub in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG, Goroka is most famous for the Goroka Show that celebrates PNG's independence day the second week of September. The show is a gathering of hundreds of people and different tribes bringing their customs and rituals together.
Goroka is not only surrounded by beautiful mountains but also many traditional villages. The Highlands, in particular, is renowned for their impressive headdresses and attire that has changed very little over the course of 100 years.
In addition to an up close and personal experience with the famous Asaro Mudmen, you will also visit another very unique village. The culture and lifestyle of the villages in throughout PNG are incredible and an experience that you will not find anywhere else on the planet.

How was your trip and guide?
“Thomas Payape and Tony Hateya from PNGVT looked after me very well. There was a funeral of a PNG pilot on the land next to Lakwanda Lodge and there were over a thousand Huli people there for 4 to 5 days.I arrived on the day that they were preparing the mumu with 60 pigs to be slaughtered. Thomas was able to use my iPhone to get great movies shot of the preparations.Since I had walked with a student from Tari High School to Margarima (2 days I think) in 1974, retracing Tari to Ambua Gap & Margarima was probably the highlight for me.I cannot recommend Rapheal Kogun enough!! He is very honest and cared greatly about my safety. Same with Thomas Paypae in Tari.The Guest house in Goroka was excellent, with ensuite bathroom and a continental breakfast provided – also very clean.In Madang, Raphel told me that there were pirates at the moment, so we did not go to Dazib guesthouse, but stayed in the Lutheran Gusethouse in Madang – again excellent.And would you recommend this tour to other adventurers who'd like to come to PNG?
Definitely. I had a great time thanks. Best holiday yet."-Ted Sullivan, PNG Essential Odyssey
