Korowai and Kombai are semi nomadic People, therefor the trip is more like searching where they live. The trail is going through the swampy lands so you will get wet and could be slippery and muddy when it’s rain. The surface of our trail into the forest is almost flat, NO HIKE AT ALL and we likely walk under the canopy of the forest’s trees most of the time. Tropic rain forest provides varies of wild life, beautiful and exotic flora and fauna, but you may not be able to fully enjoy these beauty because you have to concentrate and watch carefully your steps especially when you have to walk on logs or fallen tree in the small river or sago swamp.
There are some interesting events in the place and the family would like to host us that we can join their daily activities. We really think that by joining with local people daily activities is the best way to understand and experience the local people community life and cultures, such as gathering of foods, sago processing, fishing trap made by local people from leaf of sago, hunting and put on the trap for animal like wild pigs and birds.
