Papua, also known as Western New Guinea and formerly Irian Jaya, is the easternmost part of . It comprises the western half of the island of , the world's largest and highest tropical island, while the eastern half is the independent country of . Papua hosts many traditional cultures and is home to some of the richest biodiversity in the world. , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest protected area in the Asia-Pacific region, ranges from Papua's southwest coast to its central mountains. ## Cities — an island in the Pacific Ocean — the only town in West Papua with a significant Arab-Papuan presence — the capital and largest city — the capital city of West Papua — gateway to the most eastern point of Indonesia Nabire — the largest port city in bird's head peninsula — staging post for one of the world's largest mines — gateway to the Baliem Valley ## Other destinations — the home of the famous penis-gourded Dani warriors — the largest national park in Asia — home of the world's richest reefs — home of the world-renowned Asmat woodcarvers Cenderawasih Bay National Park ## Understand Papua consists of the six provinces of Papua (the traditional name is Tabi Saireri), Central Papua (Mee Pago), Highland Papua (La Pago), South Papua (Anim Ha), West Papua (Bomberai), and Southwest Papua (Domberai) in Indonesia. History Like the rest of Indonesia, West Papua was part of the before . However, after Indonesian independence, the region remained under Dutch rule for some time. Elections were held in the territory in 1959 and an elected council took office in 1961, in preparation for full independence from the Dutch. However, the Dutch handed the area over to a UN temporary administration, who in turned gave it over to Indonesia in 1963. A controversial plebiscite known as the Act of Free Choice, held in 1969, resulted in an improbable 100% vote in favor of joining Indonesia. The region, renamed first as Irian Barat (West Irian) and then Irian Jaya (Glorious Irian) has been under heavy Indonesian military control ever since, with the outgunned Free Papua Movement (Operasi Papua Merdeka or OPM) fighting for independence. The name Papua was restored in 2000 in a sop to the nationalists. The province was split into two in 2003 in a very controversial move, with the Bird's Head Peninsula and surrounding islands becoming West Papua (Papua Barat). A further split occurred in 2022, to create some new provinces, Central Papua province, Highland Papua province, South Papua province, and Southwest Papua province. Culture Comprising the western half of the island of New Guinea, the world's largest and highest tropical island, Papua is incredibly diverse and different from the rest of Indonesia (or, for that matter, anywhere else in the world), with most of its inhabitants being Melanesians and hence, culturally similar to the indigenous peoples of , the , and . Despite having a population of under five million, Papua is home to over 250 languages and retains many traditional cultures that were until very recently "still in the Stone Age". Cannibalism and headhunting were practiced in some areas until the 1970s. Papua is a stronghold of Christianity, so many non-halal ingredients are used extensively in the local cuisine. There are also several uncontacted peoples in the jungles of Papua who remain isolated from the modern world by choice. Terrain and ecology A vital tropical rainforest with the tallest tropical trees and vast biodiversity, Papua's known forest fauna includes marsupials (including possums, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, and cuscuses), other mammals (including the endangered long-beaked Echidna), many bird species (including birds of paradise, cassowaries, parrots, cockatoos), the world's longest lizards (Papua monitor) and the world's largest butterflies. The island has an estimated 16,000 species of plant, 124 genera of which are endemic. The extensive waterways and wetlands of Papua are also home to salt and freshwater crocodile. The interior of Papua is home to some of Indonesia's highest mountains, including snow-capped ones. Large parts of the equatorial glacier fields in the highlands remain largely unexplored. Protected areas within Papua province include the , a , and the , a RAMSAR wetland of international importance. Events Papua holds numerous events each year. Some of its famous festivals and events include the Festival Budaya Asmat, the Festival Danau Sentani, the Festival Lembah Baliem, the Festival Kamoro, and the Festival Teluk Humboldt. ## Get in Travel permits (surat jalan) are required for all travel in Papua beyond the main coastal towns. The list changes randomly, but and are generally permit-free, and Sentani, and are usually fine. Permits are most easily acquired in and , where they're usually obtainable in one day, although they are usually available in the other non-permit towns as well. Two passport photos and a token administration fee (5,000 or so) are required. The permit must list all the places you're planning to visit, no changes are allowed unless you get a new one in the main town. Whenever you arrive in a new town in Papua, you have to get your permit stamped at the police station. Make lots of copies, you'll need them for hotels and such. Despite the claims of some embassies to the contrary, no permits are required for the travel to Papua. It's best not to mention Papua at all when applying for a visa. By plane Although Papua can be accessed either by water or air, almost all travellers travel by air. The main gateway is Sentani Airport in (DJJ), but there are also frequent flights from some major Indonesian cities to (BIK), (MKW), (SOQ) and (TIM). There are some direct flights to Papua from , but for most destinations and carriers a stopover is necessary, usually in . Wamena Airport (WMX) to the Baliem Valley. By boat PT. Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (PELNI) operates boat services from other parts of Indonesia and within Papua, with serviced places on the island including Biak, Serui, Nabire, Sorong, Fakfak, Timika and Merauke. (Reports indicate it takes approximately 2 weeks from Jakarta to Jayapura; it takes 2½ days from Jayapura to Nabire) PELNI boats KM. Sinabung from stop at Jayapura, Sorong, Manokwari and Biak. This is a relaxing and interesting way to arrive if you have the time. [PELNI](https://www.pelni.co.id/?bhs=en) provides a 3-class service, consisting roughly of economy, second class, and first class. Economy class lodging and service provides for a 2.5 x 7ft bed arranged side by side with other beds and comes with minimal meals and sanitary facilities (public bathroom). The second class service consists of a 4-bed room with basic meal services and a small private bathroom. First class service is nearly identical to second class, except that the room features a 2-bed room and a window for a view outside. Each ship also features a mini-movie theater, and restaurant (for those who prefer to eat something more than the provided meals). By land The land border crossing between Papua and Papua New Guinea open to foreigners is on the north coast between and , PNG. Also, on the south side, there is a border post between and Wereave, PNG. There is no public transport across, so car or motorbike hire for some of the distance is required. Advance visas are required. ## Get around Most of Papua's main cities are not connected by road, but Trans Papua Sorong-Manokwari-Bintuni with almost 600 km length has been finished (the other sections of Trans Papua are being built). Cars can drive easily along the route but should bring tools to fix breakdowns and carry sufficient fuel. State-owned bus company, DAMRI serves some cities including Biak, Jayapura, Manokwari, Mimika, Nabire, Sarmi and Sorong. Flying is a practical option for covering longer distances. Boat charter for river travel is surprisingly expensive, the price going from US$50/day for a simple canoe to a whopping US$500/day (including gas) for a motorised outboard, but the price is downward gradually, because the subsidised fuel price nowadays is same in all over Indonesia since 2017. The problem in Papua is there are only limited formal fuel pumps, but private fuel vendors are available. Since most cities which are scattered across the island, usually almost all travel within the Papua region is done by air. Big airlines such as Garuda, Sriwijaya and Wings Air (a subsidiary of Lion Air) hop between major cities in Papua. Smaller airlines including Trigana Air Service, Aviastar, Nusantara, Susi Air, and quite a few others do regional hops. Special charter flights to one of the more than 300 very remote villages can be scheduled with charter airlines such as Susi Air and Mimika Air or with flight organisations such as Associated Mission Aviation (AMA), based in Jayapura. If you are very lucky, you might be able to catch a cargo plane ride (no seat belts!) from Wamena in the to Jayapura for a mere Rp50,000-100,000. But for safety, Wings Air and Trigana Air Service have scheduled flights between those two cities.
