On the coast you will see here little of native Papuans – thanks to the Indonesian migration policy – they want to confirm that Papua is indonesian importing people from Java and Sumatra. To see the real Papua you have to go to the interior. sooory no roads – the only way is to fly to Wamena airstrip in Baliem Valley.
You want to reserve your flight in advance? sorry – even reliable Kuwera travel agency cannot do it. Go to the airport in sentini (36 km) and call Trigana Air window. Monopolist…
Flights are full for today. -But I came from far away…
Stand by – it is your risk.
I was lucky – maybe I was the only white tourist..
One way ticket cost 650000 INR. 40 min flight in little turbo – prop and I landed in the heart of Papua…
No, i do not want to stay in Wamena – I go to the Dani villages…
