Hotels in Southern Region (Papua Region), Papua New Guinea
The Southern Papua Region in Indonesia is a tropical rainforest area famous for the Asmat tribe's intricate woodcarvings and the remote rivers of the Digul Basin. The climate is warm year-round, typically 75-90°F (24-32°C), with a dry season from May to October perfect for boat trips to Asmat villages along the Brazza River, and a wet season from November to April offering cheaper accommodations for exploring the mangrove forests of the Arafura Sea. During dry months, you can witness traditional woodcarving demonstrations, while the wet season provides opportunities for spotting crocodiles and freshwater dolphins in the quieter waterways.
