IMG guides Jason Edwards and Dan Zokaites report that the team and porters are heading into the jungle. The overland route to Carstensz will take 5 days and is very rugged hiking, so this will be a big challenge. Long days on the trail, tropical heat, mud, rickety bridges, wading streams…in the footsteps of Heinrich Harrer and his 1962 team. This is real adventure travel!
