On April 28, 2023, I embarked on a trip to Papua New Guinea from Brisbane with Air Niugini. Upon arrival in Port Moresby, PNG's capital, I was struck by the natural beauty of the country, which includes rugged mountains, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches. Papua New Guinea is less visited by tourists compared to other destinations in the region, but I found it to be a safe and friendly place to explore. During my visit, I had the opportunity to meet with Nepali people living in the country, which was a unique cultural experience. My trip to Papua New Guinea was an unforgettable adventure, and I highly recommend it to those seeking to explore a less-trodden path.
