Our daily trek will take 5-7 hours with local people support and carry our bags, foods, and other equipments.

KOROWAI AND KOMBAI TRIBES
Korowai and Kombai are semi nomadic people, therefor the trip is more like searching where they live. The terrain will always be wet and muddly. The temperature is hot and humid with many mosquitoes in the area. They always move from one place to another in order to be close to the foods and hunted animals provided by nature. These tribes are hunter and gatherer who move and build a new tree house once every 2 or 3 years with high between 10-30 meters from ground.
The trail is going through the swampy lands so you will get wet and could be very slippery and muddy when it’s rain. The surface of our trail into the forest is almost flat, no hike 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. For that we will always take 15 to 30 minutes break every time you need to drink water after one, two or three hours walk.
During our trip, we will sleep at tent near tree house (local house), but should you want to sleep on the tree house with Korowai family bring your own mosquito tent or net. We sometimes spend 2–3 nights in one place of the tree house if 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 live and culture. Like gathering of foods / sago, fishing, hunting or put on the trap for animal like wild pigs and birds.
