gfromgoa 03:48 UTC 11 Apr 2017 | I am booked to fly into Jakarta 4thMay with my two sons, 12 and 15 who are into birding. I fly into Sorong and then I have a Guide for the birding who will do a 9 day tour with us of Raja Ampet, and Manokawri. From Manokawri I go to Baliem Valley without a guide and then fly back to jakarta 27th May. I have nothing planned for Baliem Valley. Do you think I can also do the flight bookings once I reach Sorong? Also I want to travel light and hate carrying too many shoes. Will water/trekking shoes like Keens work or will i need separate Hiking shoes for Baliem Valley? Is there any other advice you want to give me? About permits, travel with kids etc? Thank Gauri |
