Do you know about the beautiful but difficult trekking expedition available in Papua new Guinea? Do you wish to enjoy the vast and stunning natural wealth of the ranges called Owen Stanley in PNG? You can now realise your desire by booking one of the Kokoda trekking packages!
If you do not already know about the Kokoda track, it is a popular Australian destination for trekking. It is a 96 kilometre long route comprising of steep climbs and trying descents. There are hundreds of creeks to cross before you reach your destination â the Ower’s Corner in the Central Province.
What to expect from a good trekking package?
Over the years, the track has grown considerably in terms of popularity. This has led to many trekking companies mushrooming in the area. They are organising hiking for large groups â sometimes even 150 walkers in a group! This is certainly not safe, given the very difficult nature of the track. Also, many of these companies make the walkers walk for eight to twelve hours in a day! This is highly anguishing and takes away all the joy of trekking on the track.
So, you must choose a trekking package that promises to be more relaxed and comfortable. It should preferably organise groups of not more than 15 people. The company should let you relax in between walking. It should let you take off your shoes and enjoy the surroundings a while longer.
If you are luckier, you may come across trekking companies with excellent rapport with the local villages. If you are looking for really attractive Kokoda trekking packages under one roof, visit www.kokodaculture.com.au. You would find that there is more to the Kokoda track than just hiking hard.
