The valley is surrounded by beautiful mountain and wild yellow floweer. Blue skies are also coloring the landscape.


Geographically the valley is in 1600 m above sea level so most of the trees are small araucaria species with small diameter as a implication of adaptation to pressure and weather. Most of the community are using the trees as a fire woods.

"Becak' an Indonesia modified bike that be used as the public transport. It mostly operated by young and teenager in Wamena (the capital city) after their school.


 A man wearing koteka (traditional penis cover made from pumpkin) in town. It still common to find the old man wearing koteka in the city. Mostly they will ask for cash if you want to take a picture with them and sometime the hold something to sell.
