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. Some accidents that happened on TREKKING Expedition, triggered by unstable situation & bad management.

For many 7 summit climbers, ascending Carstensz and Puncak Jaya are on the bucket list. These two summits, located in the Papua region of Indonesia, are often thought to be the same. The Carstensz (4,884 m asl) consist of a large limestone with very rough texture of hard rock. The techincal difficulty level is up to 5.8, it is the only of 7 Summits that need more rock climbing skills to climb. Climbers should be comfortable with a variety of ascent and descent techniques, such as rappelling, mixed climbing, and rock climbing. The tyrolean traverse method is an amazing part that must be passed before stepping their foot on top of the Carstensz Pyramid.
Puncak Jaya, on the other hand, is not technically difficult, and the ascent is non-technical with only a basic scramble to the summit. Since Puncak Jaya is not a technical climb, it's a more straightforward summit ascent, perfect for climbers who want to gain elevation but don't have the skills for a technically challenging climb.
