Bushwalking in Papua New Guinea

Lonely Planet's "Walking Guides" cover bushwalking and trekking routes throughout the world. Written by experienced trekkers, the guides are designed for anyone who believes that the best way to see a country is on foot, whether they are independent trekkers or in organized groups. Each guide includes walks of varying difficulty. Features of this series include: detailed day-by-day route descriptions; information on the culture and natural history of the region; what to take and where to get supplies on the way; comprehensive health and first-aid sections; clear, reliable maps; information on safety, preparation and planning, equipment and hiring porters; and advice on the best time of year to undertake each walk. In many parts of Papua New Guinea there are only two forms of transportation - flying and walking. If the latter appeals there is no limit to the possibilities, with hundreds of treks criss-crossing the country and rarely a day's walk between villages. This guide, now in its second edition, contains the most up-to-date information on every aspect of walking in this region.
