One of my favorite lodges in the country is Kumul Lodge outside of Mt. Hagen.
"Kumul" means Bird of Paradise in Pidgin English.
There are not many places in PNG where you can see wild Bird of Paradise inside the Lodge yard, sometimes from your own room !!
More than 70 species of birds are recorded in lodge yard alone, and more can be found in nearby sites, it is undoubtedly a birdwatchers heaven, but not only that. The misty Highlands Rainforest is home to many undiscovered wild orchid species. Based at Kumul Lodge, we can arrange bird watching, orchid watching, culture visit to nearby village, Mt Hagen trekking etc...
At altitude of 2800m, it will be very cold in the night (you cant believe it is near equator...), but there is a stove in the room to keep you warm. If you are interested in nature, please don't forget to include Kumul Lodge for your trip to Papua New Guinea.
