Papua - New Guinea 2025

Hello everyone from Papua New Guinea! Today our group in full force climbed Wilhelm Peak - the highest mountain in the country. We were a little unlucky with the weather. Almost the entire ascent, right up to the summit, we were accompanied by freezing rain. But on the descent the sun appeared and there were beautiful views. This is where the sports part of our program ended.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea! The "Nepromakaemye" group continues the program in this picturesque country. Today we moved from Mount Hagen to Wilhelm Peak in the neighboring province. Stops to taste exotic fruits, local coffee and colorful landscapes pleasantly complemented our journey. The last hour and a half of the road to the village of Kegesugl were a real test, but we endured everything steadfastly. And our reward was accommodation in a magnificent lodge with a trout farm. Fatigue disappeared in an instant. Tomorrow we leave for the base camp under Wilhelm Peak. Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea from the group Nepromokaemye! The program of stay on Giluwe has ended. It was fleeting, but very eventful. Yesterday we visited several villages of local tribes, each of which stands out with its unique outfits and rituals. Who wasn't there to scare or surprise their neighbors - ghouls with clay heads, walking skeletons, colorful characters who would be among the best even at the Brazilian carnival. A colorful and emotional spectacle!

In the evening, according to tradition, there was an award ceremony for all participants on Giluwe. Unfortunately, part of the group is leaving us, but most of them are staying and today they are moving under Wilhelm Peak. The second part of the program begins. So don't lose sight of us, we will let you know about ourselves. Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.

Hello to everyone from the "Nepromakaemye" (Waterproof) group from Papua New Guinea. Yesterday, our entire huge team climbed to the top of the Giluwe volcano. The team's name fully justified itself. During two days of trekking and climbing, we never got caught in the rain. An unprecedented situation for Papua.

 Today we will get acquainted with local traditions in the village. And in the evening there will be a festive dinner and awards ceremony.

Hello everyone from Papua New Guinea! According to information received from our guides Olya Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov, the team has reached the base camp in full force. And is preparing to climb Giluwe tomorrow morning. They are starting at 4 am local time. By tomorrow evening, the members should already be at the lodge and be in touch.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea from the "Nepromokaemye" group! This is the name that came to our mind after two days without rain in an equatorial country. We hope that the ascent will also be unusual. That is, we wish for the same, without precipitation. The second day was active and informative. We visited a village of local residents, where we were received as dear guests and shown the best of Papuan traditions.

First, we were present at the laying of "mumu", a method of cooking meat and vegetables using hot stones and all sorts of herbs and leaves. A long process, the stones are heated for a long time and then about 10 layers of different greens and meat are laid. It simmers for about three hours. While the dish was being prepared, a local folklore group arranged a picturesque performance for us, which could only be seen in the Travelers' Club before. Locals also gathered, but probably more to look at us. They also gave us a tour of the village with a description of the life and customs of the villagers. The meat was delicious. Everyone appreciated it, it was a somewhat labor-intensive process, and like real art it requires time and effort.

We would like to note our communication with local children, the gifts and sweets we brought dissolved in the children's abyss in 5 minutes. It turns out that, having learned about our visit, a whole school came running to the village. There was enough for everyone. A busy day! Towards evening we moved to spend the night in a lodge, from where tomorrow we will move downhill to the base camp.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea! Today, on the first day of the program of the largest group of the season on Giluwe-Wilhelm, almost all the participants arrived in Mount Hagen and settled in the best hotel in the town "Highlander". Almost, because one participant was unlucky, his flight from Port Moresby was cancelled at the last moment, we hope that tomorrow, in the first half of the day, he will join us. The hotel is, in fact, very convenient and comfortable and is reliably protected by a high fence and security from the "raids" of the locals.

After a short rest, those who wanted to went to the local shopping center, some to buy a snack, some SIM cards, some fruit. Under the supervision of our partners, you feel quite confident and completely safe. After lunch, the participants' equipment was checked, and in the evening there was a traditional briefing and dinner, which lasted for three hours. The ascent to Giluwe, in itself, is not difficult, but nevertheless, there are many nuances. For example, almost the entire way you have to go in rubber boots because of the marshy areas and high humidity. Tomorrow we are moving in the direction of Giluwe, we will spend the night higher up in Magic Lodge. The name of the group is in development, we will definitely announce it tomorrow. Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from distant, hot equatorial Papua New Guinea! We are also cutting into the stormy flow of news from other regions of the world. We ask you to love and favor, the largest group of the season on Giluwe Volcano and Wilhelm Peak! The guides arrived in Mount Hagen yesterday and today checked the equipment, bought food, discussed the program with the local team and some nuances, the most important one, so that they do not forget to prepare "mumu" for the second day. And what it is, you will find out from the news of the second day, we can reassure you that Gerasim has nothing to do with it. The weather, as usual at this time of year, is rainy, after all, it is the equator and the altitude is 1500 m in Mount Hagen. Glimpses of sunshine also happen, we hope we will be lucky. We are impatiently awaiting our landing party, tomorrow is the first day of the program, almost everyone is flying in on one morning flight. Guides Olya Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.
