Mt Wilhelm Trekking in Papua New Guinea from Mount Hagen 
DURATION: 4 Days and 3 Nights

DEPARTURE: Any time of the year FROM MT HAGEN
* 3 nights 4 days tour only (Kindly note: We do not change this, and will not shorten or extend)


Day 1: Arrive in Mt Hagen

Once you arrive in Mt Hagen, you will be met and greeted at the airport and then be escorted to Kegsugel Mt Wilhelm. Transport today will be via a 4WD, this is usually an open-back truck. The drive is not a comfortable one and is on a rough road for more than three hours. This does, however, offer an incredible opportunity for photos as the scenery is spectacular the entire way. In addition to nature, you will experience along the way, you will also see many villages and the bamboo houses and huts throughout them. Overnight Mt Wilhelm, Dinner included.


Day 2: Depart for Base Camp

Today you will begin your walk towards Base Camp of Mt Wilhelm early after breakfast. The walk this morning is leisurely as you climatize to the environment. The walk is, as you can imagine, wildly scenic as you are walking under a dense jungle canopy. As you walk, you will make your way out of the canopy into an open area up to two lakes, where base camp is situated. Tonight we encourage you to get to bed early to rest up for a very early start tomorrow. 

Base Camp Hut overnight. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included. 


Day 3:  Base Camp - Mt Wilhelm Peak - Base Camp – Lodge

This morning marks the beginning of a long exhausting day. The trekking will begin at midnight after a light breakfast. You will gather all of your camping gear and pack it up prior to leaving the base camp hut. Climbing will commence no later than 1 am. The trek begins early in order to reach the summit in time for sunset this morning, or just after. As you climb, there will be opportunities to stop and take a break while keeping a steady pace as this will help will climatization. 

Once we have reached the summit this morning, please take plenty of photos and soak up the spectacular view on the summit of Mt Wilhelm. the can offer a panoramic view of the coastal regions of Madang and other Eastern and Western Highlands provinces of PNG. 

After our time on the summit, we will begin the descent back to the Lodge. We will make a short stop at Base Camp to enjoy a hot drink and have something small to eat before continuing to the Lodge. Today is very hard and both physically and mentally demanding and should not be underestimated. 

Lodge overnight. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.   

Day 4: Kegsugule - Mt Hagen

This morning we will depart Betty's Lodge and begin the journey back to Mt Hagen. We will return to Mt Hagen the way we arrived, on the back of a  4WD.

“You were quick as I was about to email you myself with information regarding my tour last Saturday Chris.On a good point I get your message - Your guide Florence Bunari was outstanding.Florence was an amazing source of valuable information, and we laughed a bit at my wish list of things to find. The driver and the other guy in the van were also great. Helpful and smiling all through the tour.The War Cemetery was so special and peaceful. We did see from the outside the Parliament House.By far my favourite place was the wonderful Port Moresby Nature Park (they have recently changed its’name). Plants, flowers, animals - absolutely terrific.The security is such a sad part of life in Port Moresby and the scary prices of EVERYTHING, guarantee ones stay will be brief ! I am presuming that this huge security staffing makes all things so massively expensive. I can’t see any other reason why the prices are sky high !It certainly will put visitors off from exploring Port Moresby and I wasn’t aware of seeing any tourists at all in my stay. Everyone I spoke to were there on business. PNG value tourism is therefore so so needed!While I will discuss should anyone enquire, what my trip was like, Please give my best wishes to Florence and as a big traveller ( I have been to 55 countries ) Africa, India, Myanmar , Indonesia, Solomon Islands, etc etc wont bore you - Florence was the best tour person I have ever had. A nice person, educated and I admire her for actually walking the Kokoda Track - sadly I think I’m a bit too old although fit, to do it myself. My days of backpacking are now over.Thank you for organising the tour."

SAFETY NOTICE

PLEASE READ, ALL OF THIS, THEN PROCEED:

Welcome to Papua New Guinea from the team at PNGVT. Here we use expert guides who grew up in each respective region of the island we offer trips in, both local and international staff, who have all guided for decades, including for government, PNG National Tourism, celebrities, companies, cruise ships, families and businessmen, miners and divers, as well as solo travelers. We have run trips in every region of PNG each year, including some that no other company can. But...

That is because PNG is one of the most difficult, and one of the most expensive countries, on earth. This is unique and this is probably the last country you should visit on your list, because it will really not be easy. This is the final frontier. The trip prices here are the minimum viable cost of the tour with a guide and organization. (PNG is NOT a safe place for independent travelers except for a few places)

We realize if you are interested in PNG you may consider yourself adventurous or well-traveled, or smart and knowledgable about how to do any trip. This is ok, and respect due and many of us here share those values - However if you are looking for a tour operator you can use to spend as little as possible, feel entitled to foist your whims on the guide or staff and use them, or to change your tour at will on the fly, we kindly request you consider a different country. If you were shopping to get a Southeast-Asia, African Safari, or backpacker-priced package trip...where everything goes exactly to an itinerary, without flexibility, then we and PNG are probably not for you.

PLEASE READ and re-read the briefing room. Do you understand the rules and terms and conditions? (https://pngvaluetours.com/briefing-room/)

OUR TOURS ARE THE CHEAPEST TOURS ON EARTH, IN NATION, AND IN THE WORLD, FOR PNG. PERIOD.

Try to calculate and plan this trip out for yourself before you ask for any discounts. The prices here are final, do not need a group to go, and do not have set dates (You can go any date you want and tours are private tours!) Sorry but we will not entertain versions of these trips you have heard on Lonely Planet Thorntree or TripAdvisor . Any traveler is free to attempt this destination on their own, and we wish them luck.

Also, beware of a lot of blacklisted resellers as well as fake competitors selling their own tours on forums pretending to be "travel community" that are more expensive competing tour companies, such as "PNG Travel Geek," "TravelatiPNG," "PNGTourismGovOfficials" and other fake aliases on forums - spamming the web and us. There is a lot of mis and disinformation about PNG. Such as here.

We do have some comfortable, relaxing, even some luxury trips on the coasts and in the dive spots that are not in the interior, mostly, where we can get great discounts, but FOR STANDARD PRICED, RATHER THAN BUDGET-PRICE TRIPS IN PNG, PLEASE VISIT TNT - www.pngtours.com (not www.pngvaluetours.com - we are NOT the same company.) TNT (transniugini tours) under PNG National Tourism is recommended, and do a good job.)

We apologize for the screening process here, but it is for your own sake and since we have already had dangerous clients (usually solo travelers in these cases) who have caused problems here for themselves and their guides by not reading what they are doing, where they are going, and the rules, and being dishonest to get discounts or compensation for their own changes or choices, or general intent. You are welcome if you follow the rules and understand where you are going. We would rather you not travel with us if you are going to be an reckless, entitled, or don't do your homework. This is important - Thanks for your understanding.

This will be one of your favorite countries by the time you depart. We do commit that to you, regardless of how many you saw on the map, and if you are serious, please first decide on a trip with us, and then we may have somebody in PNG in that region speak to you on the phone and make sure you are prepared to go.

Thanks from the entire team, and...

Welcome to Papua New Guinea!!!!

I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND 100% - WELCOME TO PNG!
