Yep. Papua New Guinea is kinda off the beaten track. But let's be honest, who wants to follow the tourist trail anyway? Besides, there's loads to enjoy in this stunning region (not least of all its captivating rural landscapes). Set up base in Garasa and you can see it all from there.
It sits 160 kilometres away from Port Moresby and its bustling streets.
The close-by destinations of Garaina and Kira are worth your time. They're located 13 kilometres northwest and 40 kilometres north away, respectively. Get in the car and find out what they're all about!
When it comes time to indulge your inner adventurer, gear up for some mountain climbing. That said, there aren't many better ways to see the beauty of the region's landscapes than with a little hiking.
Okay, there's something special about getting lost in an unfamiliar place, but every now and then it's rather nice to reach your destination on the first try. To avoid any bothers along the way, sign up for some guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours.
Sure, it's rather nice to be alongside the water, but it's going to be heaps more fun to be on or in it! Make the most of the chance to have a go at some of the region's fabulous watersports, such as swimming and snorkeling.
Our itineraries are often at the whim of the weather, but fortunately that isn't the case with every attraction. Rain or shine, check out the region's craft workshops any time.
For an outdoor activity that everyone will like, drop by the surrounding area's open-air markets.
Take a journey back in time by checking out the area's war relics and monuments. When it comes to understanding the significance of these structures, an experienced tour guide can make a world of difference.
To really experience a place is to taste its food and drink, so prepare to chomp, chew, slurp and sip your way through Papua New Guinea. The only thing you need to bring with you is a good appetite!
Are you partial to breadfruit (ulu)? How about coconuts? Whether you're keen on them or not, they are two key ingredients regularly used in the cuisine here.
No proud foodie would visit Garasa without eating a few of the classic dishes, such as chicken pot and kokoda fish.
If a life without dessert is not a life you'd like to imagine, you should definitely introduce your palate to saksak (dumplings made with sugar and sago). This sweet treat sums up the region in just one mouthful.
What better way to get to know a place than by involving yourself in a day of national celebration? There'll be loads of festivities taking place for Independence Day on the 16th of September.
Time to bid farewell to the stunning Papua New Guinea region? You might only have a few Papua New Guinean kinas left in your pocket, but you'll be rich in amazing experiences.
When it's time to pack up your bag and head home, the nearest terminal, Jackson International Airport (POM), is 160 kilometres to the south.
