Mt. Hagen - A frontier town
Just about all flights to the Highlands go via Mount Hagen, so your stay could be as short as a plane turnaround or an overnight or two. Located at 5,000 feet above sea level, the air is clear and crisp. The attractions of this area are not in town but in the surrounding rolling hills stretching upwards to majestic mountains. |
Drive through the fertile Waghi Valley dotted with small garden beds and large expanses of coffee and tea plantations. Visit the Mt. Hagen market, see a performance by the Chimbu Players, or take a nature walk. |
Highlander HotelLocated in the city centre, just 9km from Kagamuga Airport servicing Mount Hagen and surrounding area. The hotel has 68 rooms, all with private bathroom, telephone and television. Guest are invited to use the swimming pool and fitness centre. |
Haus Poroman LodgeTranslated into English means 'house of friends'. This charming small lodge has been built from natural bush materials and is situated in the villages of Kunguma, overlooking the town of Mount Hagen which lies 700ft below. Each bungalow has it's own private bathroom where you can enjoy a hot shower after a day of touring, then relax in front of the open fire after a home cooked meal. The Lodge is on generator power and rooms do not have television or telephones. |
