New Guinea / Mt Wilhelm
 To
the local Simbu villagers, Mt.Wilhelm is a place where spirits
reside. Pass through villages of the Simbu as you wind up
the spectacular Gembogl Gorge where it is common to see
people dressed in traditional finery of Bird of Paradise
plumes, possum skins and shell necklaces as they go about
their daily business or participate in bride price exchange
or funeral feasts.
The
trek to Base Hut and summit is hard, steep, and sometimes
cold, wet, and muddy. You should be very fit for this trekking
tour. The rarefied air will have you puffing and your legs
will feel like lead. But all this is more than compensated
for by the rainforest, the alpine grasslands, the sheer
beauty of the base camp beside glacial
lakes and waterfalls with the rocky crags of Mt. Wilhelm
above.
