Home to the Dani people, the legendary Baliem valley is one of the most popular and accessible destinations in Papua. Baliem valley is a very precious place and all who visit it are appreciative of its beauty. Although the Dani people who inhabit it once only relied on tools of stone have now adopted many modern ways, their home still remains one of the world’s last fascinating and traditional areas. You can take a trek through the main valley which is about 60km long and 16km wide, where you will meet the town of Wamena at its centre and also see the beautiful Baliem river which runs through the valley. There are very few roads and rivers are crossed by hanging foot bridges that are held together by natural twine. If you’re up for the challenge and the once in a life time experience then we recommend a trek through the valley.
