If yours is an adventurous spirit, a fascinating expedition in Baliem Valley will fulfil all your expectations. Highland Papua is the region inhabited by the Dani Tribes and other sub tribes such as the Yali and Lani. These many different tribes have lived scattered across the highland plateau for 1000 years, they are small agrarian clans, isolated by the harsh terrain and divided by language, custom and tradition. This will be a journey through time to encounter complex and primitive cultures that look as they come out of "the stone age”. Some of the many Papuan tribal languages are related to others, however some are unique. The people of Papua are ethnically distinct from the rest of the Indonesian population. Most of the highland tribes of the Baliem Valley practice pig husbandry and sweet potato cultivation. Personalized tours in Baliem Valley are organized by Cruising Indonesia throughout the year. Would you arrange your trip now?
