Carstensz Pyramid climbing – program of TREKKING expedition

Trekking is cheaper, nicer and better for your health, but longer. The expedition takes 22 days.

Day 1:We meet at the airport in Jakarta two hour before deparatre to Papua. It ussually would be at 21 a. m. local time.

Day 2: Obtain the rest of the permits at Papua, replenish our food supplies, and pack our luggage for the expedition. All the unnecessary things are left in the hotel safe .

Day 3: Leave with a small missionary plane for Illaga, a starting point of our journey to the Carstensz Pyramid. We hire porters, get the necessary permits for the porters, our permits are checked and verified by radio in Jayapura and in Jakarta. All this takes usually one day.

Day 4 – 9: Trekking to the Carstensz Pyramid Base Camp – a difficult, but beautiful journey during which we gradually and perfectly acclimatize.

Day 10 – 14: We have five climbing days to do the ascent. If we manage to reach the summit of Carstensz Pyramid in the first day, we can try to surmount other summits in the area. Nga Pulu with a glacier on the summit, also called Middle Peak, trek to Carstensz Glacier. The schedule is rich. If someone is interested, they can take their skis with them and go skiing on the equator.

Day 15 – 20: Return to Illaga and Jayapura. Sometimes the trek can be short and mostly it is not necessary full 5 climbing days. In this case, you could either go home six days earlier (think about that when you buy your ticket to avoid paying unnecessary high charge when rebooking it), or we will organize a facultative program for you: a visit to the Baliem Valley, villages and ceremonies of the legendary Dani tribe, pig roasting, a salty lake, a sacred cave, and of course a visit toWamena – the entrance gate to the Jayawijaya Mountains. Finally, it is possible to go snorkeling or scuba diving directly in Papua or in Island Biak.(Dani tribe and all facultative program is not included in the price.)

Day 21: We pack our things, souvenirs and prepare for departure to home.

Day 22: A flight to Jakarta, and probably a night spent in Jakarta. Unfortunately, flights from Papua don't usually have a connection on the same day.
