Road Trip: Mt Hagen to Wabag on the Highlands Highway

If you are ever in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands, one thing to do is take a road trip from Mount Hagen to Wabag and upwards to Porgera along the Highlands Highway.

The Highlands Highway is the major road network for Enga. It begins in the coastal towns of Lae and Madang and snakes up into the Highlands Region. The part of the highway that come through Enga passes through Wapenamanda, Wabag, Laiagam and goes as far as Porgera, the site of the giant Porgera Gold Mine.

You can either travel by private car or catch a PMV Bus or Truck from anywhere along the highway to come to Enga. The road is sealed though in places it in is a bad state.

Your journey will begin in the valleys of Western Highlands and rapidly ascend up the Mt Hagen Range reaching the Kaugul Pass at almost 3000m before descending   a narrow corridor and following the paths of the tributaries that feed the Laiagap and Lai rivers as you had towards Wabag.
