Overview

Climbing Carstensz Pyramid has it’s climbing and regional challenges, but this adventure into the Papua tribal region is a real adventure. The climbing is unique offering you a chance to climb one of the coveted seven summits. We have two itineraries of offer. We either hike into base camp or travel by helicopter into base camp and avoid the long and arduous trek in some tricky conditions on route to climbing Carstensz. Get in, climb and get back to planning your next seven summit.

A little bit more about the Carstensz Pyramid climb

The helicopter option is the more expensive 10 day trip and costs USD $19,000 based off a group of 6 climbers. The 20 day trek and climb costs USD $13,000 based off a group of 6 climbers. The benefit of the shorter trip is save time and not deal with the jungle trek into the base of the mountain. There is still enough time to acclimatize and be have a successful climb.

The longer jungle trek into climb Carstensz is a three week commitment hiking through tribal villages, with logistical challenges on the group, but a unique and exciting adventure like no where on earth. The journey through the jungle is wet, muddy but a great way to experience local life and experience this less traveled part of the world.

Carstensz Pyramid expeditions are organized many months in advance and it may become necessary to make alterations on your travel plans. We will advise you of such changes before you depart to Indonesia, although occasionally we may be forced to make changes in route due to the causes beyond our control. This trip has many challenges on the ground so being as flexible as possible will help
