Mount Hagen is a peak within the central highlands of Papua New Guinea, which showcases a unique blend of alpine terrains, lush rainforests, and vast valleys. This lesser-known hiking destination offers an off-the-beaten-path experience, where trekkers can take in the stunning scenery, interact with locals, and learn about the diverse flora and fauna of the region. The trek also provides opportunities for bird-watching, particularly for Papua New Guinea's famed bird-of-paradise.
