Trip Planned - Dep. 15th Sept :)

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the recent advice on PNG.

I have booked and planned my trip, departing Sydney on 15th Sept.

Arriving in PM and flying directly to Lae for 1 night, then hopefully to Salambua for one or two nights before heading to Madang. From there I will fly to Simbai for the Kalam cultural festival for the weekend and onwards to Hagan. Depending on times and whether my flights go as planned I might have some time to explore to highlands (maybe Tari) before heading back to Goroka for a flight to PM and back to Sydney.

Just under two weeks in total, wish it was more.

I am still going it alone, but feeling pretty confident. Will post my diary when I return.

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Kiri
