Death March Trek - 9 days

Introduction: The Kokoda Track, once the scene of bitter fighting between the Australians and Japanese during World War II, is now one of the world’s great treks and a pilgrimage for many. The trail runs 96 kilometres between Kokoda and Ower’s Corner, crossing rugged mountain ranges of Papua New Guinea, through rainforests and across mountain streams and rivers. Along the way are unspoilt villages, abandoned villages, and a village relocated due to fears of sorcery. There are battle sites, monuments, memorials and weapons pits to explore, and even the chance to meet a “Fuzzy Wuzzy” Angel. Although the Kokoda Trail is an arduous trek for the fit and adventurous, it is a rewarding challenge, one which will inspire you, as you get an insight into the legends of Kokoda and the hardships they had to endure in their battle to save Australia.
