TRAVEL TO PAPUA WITH LOCAL TRAVEL AGENCY
Baliem Valley is a valley in the Jayawijaya Mountains and is the location of the capital of the Papua Mountains Province. The Baliem Valley is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains with beautiful and natural scenery. The temperature can reach 10 to 15 degrees Celsius at night.
Wamena was a point of departure for many expeditions. The Dani villages are visited by virtually every tourist who sets out in West Papua. Some villages even show their original customs and hold mock wars. Another thing that brought fame to the Dani tribe is the several hundred-year- old “smoked” mummies of famous tribesmen. Three of them can be seen in the Baliem Valley – in Aikima, Pumo, and Jiwika villages. The Baliem Valley area, inhabited by the Dani people, is the most fertile part of the highlands covering the west of New Guinea Island – Papua (Irian Jaya).
