Baliem Valley, Papua.

Come To Baliem Valley

High up in the mountains of central Papua at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level, hemmed in by steep green mountain walls, lies the stunningly beautiful Baliem valley, home of the Dani tribe.

Baliem valley is 72 km. long,

and 15 km to 31 km wide in places.

Archaeological finds prove that the valley has been farmed for 9,000 years.

It is cut by the Baliem river, which has its source in the northern Trikora mountain, cascading into the Grand Valley, to meander down and further rushing south dropping 1,500 meters to become a large muddy river that slowly empties into the Arafura Sea.

Come to Baliem. You’ll be amazed.
