Book one of the epic adventures of a lifetime: our Mount Wilhelm climb (4,509m/37,575ft), the highest mountain in Papua New Guinea. We offer PRIVATE CLIMBS ON ANY DATES BETWEEN APRIL TO OCTOBER (ignore the dates on this page, you can DM me with the dates of your choosing)

One of the most remote and exciting peaks in the entire Oceania region. No crowds, no tourist circus, no ski lifts. Just raw jungle, tribal Highlands culture, and one of the most spectacular sunrise summits anywhere on earth It’s challenging, but not technical. If you’re reasonably fit, you can do it. Think of it like Kilimanjaro, but wilder, more authentic, and with way fewer people. LESS THAN 10,000 PEOPLE EVER CLIMBED IT (similar to Everest!).

Mount Wilhelm sits in the rugged Bismarck Range of Papua New Guinea, deep in the Highlands — a world of valleys, villages, and cloud forests. At 4,509m, it’s the highest point in all of PNG, rising above tropical jungle and glacier-fed lakes.

The climb takes you through traditional Highlands communities, rainforest, alpine meadows, and finally a rocky scramble to the summit for sunrise over the entire country. It’s wild, remote, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable.

Yes. As long as you go with our trusted local team and stick to the plan. PNG’s cities can be rough, but Mount Wilhelm is in a controlled, rural, community-run area that depends on trekking tourism.

Our itinerary is tightly managed:

• airport pickups

• private transfers

• registered local guides

• community guesthouses

• controlled access to the mountain

You’re not wandering Port Moresby alone at 2am. You’re in the mountains, with local people who grew up here and know every inch of the trail.

Arrive in Port Moresby anytime. You'll be staying in the Hilton (or similar). So you'll have an airport transfer there, and overnight in comfort. Dinner at the hotel is advised.

Morning airport transfer, then flight to Mount Hagen airport.

My team will meet you at the airport, and you'll do your 5 hour drive to Betty's Lodge.

Overnight, with dinner, there in comfort. Private room, hot showers, (spotty) wifi.

After breakfast at the lodge, you will ascend slowly to base camp to acclimatise.

Eat well for tomorrow’s summit. Packing only essentials; porters carry bags up and back.

Roughly 3/4 hours hike, 750m altitude gain. Only 5km or so.

Sleep in very simple base camp huts.

Tough day. 1am start, summit at sunrise, back to basecamp and onto the lodge.

14/15 hours hiking to the summit, then all the way back to Base Camp and down to the Mt Wilhelm Lodge at Kegsugel.

Overnight at lodge in comfort again.

Brekkie at the lodge then 6 hour drive to airport for 15:50 flight.

Then, back to our 5* hotel in Port Moresby for your well earned celebration (and well earned shower)!
