The ascent of Mt. Wilhelm is a strenuous though non technical climb. Drive from Mt. Hagen through the fertile Wahgi Valley and the spectacular Simbu Gorge to Keglsugl at 8200 feet (2500 meters), and our accommodation for the night. Next morning a moderate four hour climb through rainforest and alpine grasslands to the Piunde Lakes base camp at 11, 700 feet (3600 meters). One can spend an easy day here enjoying the superb views, alpine grasslands, glacial lakes and waterfalls, or take a longer hike to the WW2 wreck of a B17 bomber. Those wishing to conquer the summit head off per-dawn aiming for the summit at sunrise, and incredible views of the north coastline and surrounding mountains and valleys. Return to the base camp in the afternoon. Next morning hike to Keglsugl and return to Mount Hagen or Goroka.
