Papua New Guinea in 10 days: Huli wigmen, the Sepik and the birds of paradise
Port Moresby → Tari → Mount Hagen → Karawari → Sepik → Port Moresby
Highland valleys unknown to the outside world until the 1930s, spirit houses on a river where carving is a religion, and most of the planet's birds of paradise — reached entirely by light aircraft, at a price and with a security picture the guide states plainly.
