During the Baliem Valley tour, we will take you to experience an exciting adventure by exploring the Baliem Valley and the unique, primitive traditions and way of life of the tribes who live in the valley.
Baliem valley itself is located in Wamena regency in Irian Jaya, Western Part of Papua New Guinea, which is well known as the home of the Dani tribe, one of the famous tribes in the highland.
Dani Tribe of Baliem Valley
To reach the site, one needs to fly from Jakarta or Bali to Jayapura (flights available every day). From Jayapura, we need to take another flight to Wamena. Wamena is the main entrance gate to the villages in the hinterland.
This tribal adventure takes you back to the so-called prehistoric age era, when the wheel, candle, or even iron tolls are not invented yet. Our trip offers you a deeper sight of the life and culture of the locals who are still living in their round shape house (honai), some of them still wearing a grass skirt and penis gourd. Walking and trekking on through mountains and hills, passing from village to villages, see the locals at work, meet them at their compound.
Baliem Valley tour brings you to explore spectacular view, towering hills and mountains, widely spread valley and deep ravines, flowing rivers, fertile farmland, small villages perching on the hillside, peaceful nature, ice freezing air in the night, and, no wonder if some called this as the Shangri-La, the home of the Dani tribe.
