Today is long but consider easy trek, good for adaptation. Start from the hotel after breakfast, then transfer to Sogokmo village, about 40 minutes drive to the south. Arrival in Sogokmo, then cross Mugi river, follow the trail of the Dani from the riverside up to Hitugi and Yuarima. Both Hutigi and Yuarima lie on the higher altitude than Wamena. (Wamena is about 1,600 m above sea level). All the way we will be passing through the hilly terrain of Dani home, on the left and the right side are the Dani gardens with sweet potatoes and taro plants. Stay overnight at local house in Yuarima. The walk today is about 7 – 8 hours. Arrival late in the afternoon in Yuarima.

After breakfast, together with our porter team, again, we cross Mugi river and then climb to the higher altitude. We proceed to the border between the Dani and the Yali area. Yogosem and Kiroma are the closest Dani village to Yali area. We will be passing through the Dani gardens as well as some small forest where the Dani peoples took their wood for the house and for fire.

Stay at the local house in Kiroma. Dani house called honai, round in shape, with a place for fire on the center. We spend 7 – 8 hours walk today.

 

DAY 04 : KIROMA – MT. SIAM (B,L,D)

The trail is getting more strenuous than before. We leave the houses and the garden of the Dani. No villages to see on the way today. We will be passing through the highland forest dominated by trees and ferns. If we are lucky, we may meet the Yali peoples with their penis gourd and rattan hoop along the waist. In some parts of the trail, we will cross some rivers, walk along the riverside and climb the hilly terrain. Most of the walk is heading uphill. We are at the altitude of about 3,000 today. In the evening, the temperature can be ice cool and the wind blows very hard. We need 6 – 7 hours of walk today.

 

DAY 05 : MT. SIAM – SWELE HUT / CAMP (B,L,D)

Another difficult walk, heading to Swele camp / some local call this Swele hut. There is a small hut on our destination where the local hunter usually stay overnight in their hunting. Today we will pass a highland swamp where some water birds usually seen. The walk will be more difficult as we have to deal with muddy and wet trail. There are also soma small rivers we have to cross. The temperature is very cool up there. Stay at the hunter camp site.

We spend 7 – 8 hours walk today.

 

DAY 06 : SWELE – SOLINGGUL (B,L,D)

Today is an easier difficult trail from the mountain down to Yali home. We will be passing through some dense forest with tress and giant Pandanus tress which are used by the locals as food and building material.  It a 7 –

8 walk along the steep trail down to Solinggul, a village with about 30 – 40 traditional houses. There is a small church here. Peoples at Solinggul (most of them) still wearing grass skirt and penis gourd. The locals usually come to surround us as the presence of the white is very seldom there. We usually have some cigarettes for the elderly (to show friendship), and some candy for the kids. Stay at the local house in Solinggul. Our struggle for days in the jungle has got it’s prize today.

 

DAY 07 : SOLINGGUL – WANIYOK – PRONGGOLI (B,L,D)

Solinggul village perches on a small hill, overlooking another Yali village name Waniyok. We descend about 1 hour from Solinggol to Waniyok, (many kids usually come with us till the end of the village). Along the way is the Yali garden with taro and sweet potato plants. We will have some great chance to see the Yali with their koteka work in the garden. Arrival at Waniyok, then have a look around the village and then proceed to Pronggoli. Pronggoli lies about  6 – 7 hours from Waniyok. We will be passing some small rivers, Yali garden, and forest till Pronggoli. About 30 minutes before Pronggoli, the trail will ascend after crossing Sule river. All the villages of Yali (Solinggol, Waniyok, and Pronggoli) lie on the western side of Yali.

 

DAY 08 : PROGGOLI – MT. ELIT – MATIK (B,L,D)

After a night in Pronggoli, we walk back to Wamena through the different trail. The locals in Pronggoli built some ladders (there were 6 ladders made of wood about 5 – 8 me length) on Mt. Elit wall to climb this mountain. The wall is very slippery and steep. Our team has some ropes to assist people who are not strong enough to climb. The view along the way is very spectacular, while the wind blows quite strong. We will be crossing Mt. Elit slope in about 3 – 4 hours climb. Make a rest while enjoy lunch and the scenery.  Proceed to Matik, another 3 hours walk, some muddy and wet trail.

Another walk along the highland forest, but the walk is much easier, descend from Matik to Wonggol camp and Kali Mulik. The walk will be about 6 hours, still muddy and wet trail. There are also some rivers about 2 – 3 m width we have to cross. Stop for lunch at Kali Mulik  riverside. Wonggol is a meeting point of 2 trails. The one to the lefty will take peoples to Pronggoli and the one on the right  will take peoples to Solinggul. From Kali Mugi, another 2 hours walk will take us to Kiroma.
