Mt Wilhelm National Park

Sleeping economic giant to be awakened

It nestles 4,509m above sea level and is the highest mountain in PNG.

The unmatched beauty of Mt Wilhelm never ceases to amaze visitors, both international and local, who flock in occasionally to catch a glimpse of pristine tropical rainforest and natural eco-systems while hoping to set their mark.

Minister for Arts, Culture and Tourism and member for Kundiawa-Gembogl, Tobias Kulang, said it is indeed a sleeping economic giant that can generate income for the country.
