The Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea: A brand new trek from Epic Expeditions

Описание: What do you get when you combine one of the most diverse countries on earth, a rugged jungle track stretching over the wildest mountain range in Oceania, and a historical event on the scale of World War 2?

Well you get the recipe for one of the most unique and wildest trekking experiences one can embark on – that’s what.

This is the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, Epic Style.

Home to a population that speaks over 800 different languages, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is an island nation unparalleled in its diversity and true, raw adventure potential. And we are going to experience it on foot, together.

The Kokoda Track is a 96-kilometer foot path traversing the famous Owen Stanley Mountains in far Eastern PNG. Prior to the outbreak of World War 2, the Kokoda Track was used by the local communities as a way to get from A to B across the mountains, and nobody outside of these small villages had much explored it. With the Japanese invasion of PNG in 1942, everything changed. The year-long brutal struggle that ensued between Japanese, Australian, Papuan, and, American Forces has come to be known as the Thermopylae of our time.

This is your chance to literally trek in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought, trekked, and died here 80+ years ago, while experiencing the remote, wild jungle landscapes, and the unique communities of people who call this place home today, as they have for centuries.

It does not get any more Epic than this.
