| Trekking | Helicopter | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 11 or 13 days | 6 or 8 days |
| Access | Timika → Tsinga, then trekking to base camp | Timika → base camp by helicopter |
| Experience | Highland villages, valleys and a gradual approach | Short, direct access; less time in the highlands |
| Weather buffer | Reserve or spare days built in | Reserve days recommended for flights |
Choose an access route. Hover a point — or slide your finger along the line — to see the elevation and what happens that day.
