Papua is Indonesia’s easternmost province, is a land of extraordinary contrasts - where snow-capped peaks give way to lush tropical rainforests, and age-old traditions thrive alongside natural beauty. Papua is formerly known as Irian Jaya, it is a treasure of untouched landscapes, rich tribal heritage, and encounters with rare wildlife that remain elusive to most travelers.

You will have the chance to visit the Baliem Valley, home to the Dani and Lani tribes, where ancient customs like the Bakar Batu (Burnt Stone) ceremony are still practiced today. They live in villages with their thatched huts, and the cultural rituals that reveal the island's deep Melanesian roots.

For those seeking adventure, you can trek through dense rainforests in search of the elusive Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo and the dazzling Wilson’s Bird-of-Paradise or King of Saxony bird of paradise. Head south to explore the artistic traditions of the Asmat people, renowned for their intricate wood carvings and ancestral ceremonies.

On the coast and islands, Papua also offers a more indulgent experience. Embark on LuxeIndonesia’s private luxury cruise across pristine tropical islands, snorkel vibrant, untouched coral reefs, and unwind at an eco-friendly beach resort or private villa with personalized service.
