Wanderings from the last frontier:Papua New Guinea

Image
It had been a year since I took a longish break away from work into the wild and several places came to my mind.. I have always been fascinated by tribes and nature  and one of them has been the birds of paradise . I got thinking of BOP(Birds of Paradise) over the years ,after some of the articles I had read and documentaries I had watched from Sir David Attenborough's vast collection. The first reaction is of surprise and disbelief when you say you want to travel to PNG(Papua New Guinea) that too solo. A search on internet will surely dissuade any sane person, leave aside a solo woman wanting to head out there. Another thing was the expense involved. I was surprised to see how expensive it would be to get there. Thus, started some research on how to go there what places to visit and talking to my mum and sister about it.After all the work was done had to get in touch with few companies who would take me trekking into the deep forests of PNG in search of some of the birds.
