Carstensz Helicopter Expedition
Helicopter expedition has no Trekking part at all. Climber fly directly from Timika (Zero Sea Level) using helicopter to Yellow Valley (4,300 m asl), directly below the Carstensz wall. We do summit climb just below of the Carstensz wall, without passing any villages, tribal area, jungles, or meadow. Best chance to have good weather is on dry season (April – October), however it is not a guarantee that you will have good weather. Local weather is key factor that determine HELICOPTER flight chance.
We are rescheduling TREKKING Expedition departure due current situation in Sugapa (starting point of Trekking Expedition). There was very serious conflicts and riots in Sugapa between clans and tribes due regional election. Current situation on Carstensz is only reliable (safe, secure, smooth & success) with HELICOPTER Expedition.
