fyastix 11:18 UTC 11 Mar 2009 | Hi all, My partner and I will be travelling to PNG soon and we are hoping to do some hiking. Has anyone walked or know any thing about the following treks: 1)Ononge - Tapini via mt Albert Edward 2) Kerema- Menyamya - Marawaka - possibly Kainantu 3) Sarawaget 4) Mt Giluwe Did you use guides for all or part of these trips? Any recommendations? How much Kina per day? Did you carry/require tents? How readily available was food along the way? (for walk 2 and a lesser extent 1) Cheers |

yuwi 03:31 UTC 14 Mar 2009 | Years ago I did Okapa to Baimaru. Took 2 weeks. Had a few carriers we took all the way. We just made shelters out of bush material every evening about 1600. You need to take all your food. The first people we encountered after the Gimi valley were in the foothills near Wafi. They only had sago which for me is almost inedible. We got a few fish and even ate a hornbill. PM me for any more info. Yuwi. | 2
mangiwau 00:10 UTC 08 Jul 2009 | Hi guys, Can't offer too much advice on these specifically, but if you find yourself in my neck of the woods (Morobe province), we have the 'Black Cat' (Wau to Lae) and 'Bulldog' (Wau to Port Moresby) treks here. On these I can offer all the advice you need, and a few intrepid explorers have joined them together for a full-on 8-10 days out. You could try www.pngtrekkingadventures.com for Mt Giluwe perhaps. Cheers. | 3
