Trek with Kokoda Trekking & have an adventure of a lifetime
The Kokoda Trail is one of the world’s great treks, linking the southern and northern coast of Papua New Guinea, it is a challenge to be enjoyed by the fit bushwalker. The Kokoda Trail and Sogeri area have a history of bitter fighting between Australian and Japanese armies during the early days of the war in the Pacific in World War II.
The 96 km Kokoda trail passes through rugged mountainous country of rainforest, jungles of fern, orchids, birds and clean mountain streams which tumble into steep valleys. The unspoilt villages throughout the Kokoda Track will welcome you and the Koiari and Orokaiva people will greet you with smiles and tempt you with seasonal fruit and vegetables.

What our friends had to say
"I am delighted that we chose to trek with you and your team. While the ability to run a well managed trek was important I believe that the way that you guys give back to the community and include the locals in your operations makes a unique difference to the whole experience. I felt like I was being included in the history of the trail rather than just observing it as a visitor."
"Thanks for a memorable journey. The style of trek that you offer was just what I was seeking and I am already singing your praises here in Brisbane – hopefully more business will come your way."
"Everything was organised and very well planned and we wouldn’t even consider trekking with anyone else – we’ve done it twice with them so they must have been good! The porters are the most wonderful people, so genuinely wanting for you to succeed and doing whatever it takes so you make it."
Walk
in the footsteps of heroes
The Kokoda Trail was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II and still carries the scars of a fierce campaign.

Growing up in PNG we would often go out with our parents to other homes where they would have a mumu cooking for hours throughout the day.
In Australia and other places around the world we might use an oven or other methods to feed our families but in Papua New Guinea culture they typically have many mouths to feed and this option of cooking is often used. Think of the mumu as a the oven of the bush!
Although the video doesn't show the initial setup of the mumu you will note the banana leaves and vegetables along with meat resting in the mumu pit.
Firstly a pit is prepared to the size required. Whilst the mumu pit is being prepared a fire will be lit and stones heated. Not all stones are suitable so they need to be chosen with care to ensure they will do the job. This alone may take a few hours. Some of the stones are then put into the hole and covered with banana leaves.
Fresh garden produce will be put on top of the banana leaves together with various spices, coconut milk being lastly added. The pit is then covered with more banana leaves. The remaining hot stones will then be places on top of the pit and the mumu will be left to cook until ready to be eaten by all.
A few of our last trek's for 2018 were able to experience this truly amazing experience & feast!
