Cost per TrekkerAUD$ 3650.00
To hire a personal porter (optional)AUD$ 700
Day 1: POM – KOKODA – DENIKI
Today you will depart your hotel ready to catch a Dash 8 to Popondetta. You will travel down via road to begin your trek in Kokoda. Today is a realatively short day to help trekkers find those walking legs. Departing Kokoda you will head to a village called Deniki where you will spend your first night on the Kokoda Track.
Day 2: DENIKI – ISURAVA
It is here that the reality hits you – the Kokoda Trail will not be easy. It is quite steep at the beginning; however, do not throw in the towel yet. After about five hours walk, you arrive at Isurava. It was the site of a significant World War II battle and now one of the most – sacred sites along the trail. Here, you enjoy panoramic views of the Kokoda and Yodda valleys then overnight at the village guest house.
Day 3: ANZAC DAWN SERVICE – ISURAVA – IORA CREEK
ANZAC DAWN SERVICE 25TH APRIL 2021. We set off for the next village of Alola, and on to Iora Creek, where we overnight.
Day 4: IORA CREEK – TEMPLETON’S CROSSING
Today starts with a steep climb, then a descent, to Templeton’s Crossing where we spend the night under the forest canopy and the gentle voice of the Iora Creek splashing against the rocks. Trout fishing is available for those who have fishing lines.
Day 5: TEMPLETON’S CROSSING – 1900
Day 5 begins with another climb up and down, another crossing of Iora Creek, and then a climb to the top of Mount Bellamy, the highest point of the Kokoda Trail. You will then descend down to 1900 which is a beautiful little campsite where you will spend the night relaxing by the fire.
Day 6: 1900 – MENARI
We start early with a walk to the Naduri, descend to the creek, and then ascend to Efogi No. 2 village. Then we descend to Efogi, where we rest and collect our pre – arranged food drop. From here, we climb up to Brigade Hill – which together with Isurava is one of the most – sacred sites of the Kokoda Trail – and then descend to Menari village where we spend the night.
Day 7: MENARI – NAORO
We start with a steep hill and are rewarded from the summit with fine views of Menari. We make a muddy, swampy, and at times leech – infested trek to the Brown River, which we must cross with care especially if in flood. We walk on to Naoro where we overnight.
Day 8: NAORO – VA’ULE CREEK
We start by climbing the heartbreaking false peaks of Maguli Ridge (you can count them yourself). We descend to Ofi Creek for a well – deserved break, make another climb to Ioribaiwa Ridge, and then descend to Va’ Ule Creek where we spend our last night.
Day 9: UA’ULE CREEK – OWERS’ CORNER
Our last hard grind up the Imita Ridge, and then descend the ‘Golden Stairs’ to the Goldie River. A last refreshing dip before climbing up to Owers’ Corner.
