Kokoda Trail

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Im interested in doing the kokoda trail sometime next year.

Can anyone out there who has done it before advise if this treak can be done solo or are guides essential? f doing it solo are there any dangers from other people?

If it must be done with a guide or tour group could you also advise aprox how much and if there are any ways of doing this journey in the cheapest possable way?

Cheers

Hi how are you going? Im looking at doing the Kokoda Trail as well and I would like to get some information but have not had any replies to my thread on here. Where are you based? Maybe we could combine any information we get

Hi

I have recently returned from Trekking Kokoda it was the highlight of my life so much so that I want to go again.
If I can help in anyway please ask, not sure if this forum will send a message if you reply.

I will try to remember to look here in a few days if it does not send me a message

Have a great trek

Hey Dinkum,... im interested in doing the kokoda trail solo too. I know its a little late to ask after four years but still any information you could provide would be greately appreciated. Im thinking of doing it solo, or maybe with a guide but I dont want to pay thousands. is there any way of doing it on a budget?

Im looking foreward for your response.
