Tour Description:
SSH-BHMT's Kokoda Spirit trek is an itinerary that proposes a challenge for a trekker but overt the course of 9 days, trekkers will be able to enjoy the pleasures and hospitality of the local Koairi villages. So we see this trek as one that is challenging but not rushed.
The Kokoda Spirit trek starts from Kokoda and ends at ower's Corner. The trek includes sleepovers at all BHMT cooperative villages so our trekker will receive beautiful receptions at each of the villages that visit. At Menari village we will be greeted by Saii Faole's father "Bokoi" who is one of three remaining fuzzy wuzzy angels along the track. At Menari our trekkers will be treated to Aussie BBQ - Sausage snizzle mixed with local PNG cuisine.
If you are up for a challenge, this journey is constantly rewarding and what better way then to walk with the original descendents of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.

Trek Structure
- 1:1 Trekker to Porter - All trekkers will be assigned a personal porter. This aims to promote relationship building between porters and trekkers, enhance safety and well being of trekkers and to assist in reaching the ultimate goal of completing the entire track.
- Tour Guide - Each group will be assigned a local tour guide who will be responsible for communication with home base, decision making on the track and liaising between his Lead man (2ic), porters and trekkers. The tour guide is the caretaker of money and is responsible for payments to all villages.
- Compressed formation - The compressed formation keeps the trekking group tightly bonded. This assists the porters, guide and lead man to closely monitor trekkers conditioning. By keeping the group close together, we believe that the team factor and impetus will drive trekkers harder to reach the end goal - Kokoda!
