Mount Wilhem, Papua New Guinea

Mount Wilhem, Papua New Guinea

Mount Wilhem also known as Enduwa Kombulglu, is located in Papua New Guinea and is at the height at the 4,056 meters making it the highest mountain of Papua New Guinea. It is the center point of intersection of three provinces namely Simbu, Madang and Western Highlands and is the part of Bismarck Range. It was named after Hugo Zoller, a German newspaper correspondent who climbed the Finisterre Range lying southeast of the Madang. It is sometimes considered as one of the “Seven Summits” that are the highest points on the seven continents.

The mountain is easily accessible by two routes – first from village of Keglsul lying at the end of road from Kundiawa in Simbu province and the other route is from the village Ambulla in the Western highlands province, which is a much harder route with a four-day hike. The Keglsul route involves climbing mountains, rainforests and moving along the alpine grassland leading to twin lakes of Piunde and Anude.
