Papua New Guinea's Highland Trails: Village Footpaths and Spirit Mountains takes you deep into one of the world's last great hiking frontiers. Written as a vivid first-person narrative, this book blends the raw beauty of the mountains with the warmth of the people who call them home.
Through eleven chapters, the author shares the reality of walking narrow ridges, sleeping in village huts, and encountering the wildlife and spirit-filled landscapes of the highlands. Each story is woven with practical guidance - from 3-day hikes near Goroka to 14-day crossings into Chimbu and Western Highlands - offering both inspiration and usable advice.
