I'm thinking about the trip into papau on the 5th of august. I have two questions - one, how fit do you actually have to be for this trip, and is any one else booked on it?

Papua on 4th August

Hello Amb

Thank you for your post. The 8-day trek on this trip is graded as "moderate/strenuous" so we would recommend that you are fairly fit and do some physical preparation for the trip. It is well suited to people who are very active and enjoy long hill walks. The terrain can be steep and slippery, so the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy it!

There are already 5 other people booked on the tour, with a 6th person provisionally booked at the moment. The tour is definitely running and if you do decide to book please bear in mind that the tour will close to new bookings 15 days before it departs, so don't leave it too late!

Regards,

Kelly

would like to know how trip was

Hello Amb,
I am thinking about doing the Irian Jaya trip next year, and would love to hear from you, or anyone on the recent trip, how it was? Was the treking very difficult? Were there any security concerns? What country are you from, and were there any problems getting the visa or surat jalan? Any other thoughts about the trip would be great. Thanks!
