Tiny Kumul Lodge, sitting on a saddle of the Mount Hagen Volcano, offers a wonderful montane rainforest experience in Papua New Guinea’s central highlands.

The lodge is managed by a local Enga clan, and offers cozy and plush individual bush-hut rooms (with double beds, heaters, running water, and lighting). Nights are chilly on this 9,000 foot plateau. The forests around the lodge abound with many wonderful endemic birds, including Archbold’s Bowerbird and the Ribbon-tailed Astrapia.

From the lodge one is able to arrange a several-day trek to the summit of 12,500 foot Mount Hagen. New Guinea at its best.
