THE KOKODA TRACK
ONE OF THE TOP 10 TREKS OF THE WORLD
The Kokoda Track is by far the most popular trek in Papua New Guinea and takes between 6-8 days. It is a challenge and the difficulty of the track should not be underestimated.
PNG Trekking Adventures approaches adventures in PNG on a personal level, focusing on the individual experience for our guests. Treks are limited to 15 people so you enjoy a more exclusive journey where you are an individual and not just part of a large group. Our focus on the Kokoda is getting out there and experiencing all the delights that the trail has to offer and most importantly of all having fun.
The long days include river crossings, steep and gradual ascends and descends. The 96 kilometer trek is predominately through rain forest. Usually conditions are wet and slippery as rain can be expected on most days. Temperatures range from 24-30 degrees Celsius during the day and 16-24 degrees Celsius at night.
This trail was made famous during WW11 and still bares the scars of a fierce campaign. For those of you who had loved ones fighting in PNG during WW11, this walk can be a very spiritual and emotional experience. Trekking in mud up to your knees and tricky river crossings indicates exactly the conditions under which our diggers fought.
People embarking on this Kokoda adventure will be assured of the most spectacular scenery and have an unforgettable experience. The local people are Koiaris who are friendly and generous.
Although ideally suited to walkers who are of reasonable fitness, training for this trek is necessary. Remember the fitter you are the more enjoyable the trek will be.
We do the trek in either 6,7 or 8 days. Depending on the fitness of the group and trekkers time schedule.
