# Tips & ideas for traditional culture and nature experiences Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
YellowB 20:51 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | Hi fellow travellers, I'm planning one week trip to Papua New Guinea for 1 week and are looking for: * Traditional culture & villages * Wigmen and traditional clothing * Rain forest * Montain (climbing) Initially I have been looking at the areas around Tari and Goroka but I would appreciate any nice tips and advise to meet my requests - including recommended guides. Much thanks. |
Laszlo 21:01 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | For the above, a combination of Tari and Mt Wilhelm should be best. | 1
