Jayawijaya Mountains ( Visit Papua )
The Jayawijaya Mountain range lies in the middle of Irian Jaya, in the Jayawijiya regency. The highest peaks are Trikora, Jaya, Yamin and Mandala. The tribes of the Dani, Yali, Ndunga and Ngalum live in this region.
The Jaya Peak, at 5,500 meters, is the highest in Irian Jaya, and is always covered with snow. It takes between 10 and 20 days to reach this peak. The Castensz Pyramid is the montain's sheer northern wall. Below is the steep New Zealand Pass, the most dangerous and most feared by climbers.
Close to the top of this mountain range, is Orange Valley, at a height of 4,150 meters. There is a small lake with clear water, and three others with orange- coloured water. There is also an open plain which can be used as a camping ground.
