Introducing Mt Wilhelm

For many, climbing to the 4509m summit of Mt Wilhelm is the highlight of a Highlands trip. On a clear day, you can see both the north and south coasts of PNG. Even if you don’t intend to tackle the summit, the region around the base offers fantastic walking and dramatic landscapes. European fruits and vegetables – including strawberries, cabbages, cauliflower and broccoli – grow year-round in the constant spring conditions.

Niglguma and Gembogl, both traditional high-altitude villages, are worth visiting – you can walk to Gembogl from Kegsugl in a couple of hours and, on the way, you pass through half-a-dozen villages, including Niglguma.
