Why trek the Kokoda Track?

The Kokoda Track is one of the world’s great treks, linking the northern and southern coasts of Papua New Guinea. It’s a rugged, single-file pathway running roughly 100 kilometres overland through the Owen Stanley Range.

​However, Kokoda is not just any old walking trail. It was also the site of one of the most important Australian battles of WWII. It was here, in 1942, along the narrow and rugged walking trail that the Australian army tried to repel the invading Japanese forces. It was a bloody and brutal conflict that resulted in the deaths of 625 Australian soldiers and more than 1,000 further casualties. 

Trek this spine-tingling and emotional trail today with No Roads Expeditions and you can still get a vivid sense of what it must have been like trying to fight here. It’s tough terrain, with trekkers fully immersing themselves in the same conditions that those brave soldiers would have faced over seven decades ago.  Along the trail you will be able to stop at significant landmarks, quietly reflecting on the events here. There’s also the chance to perform various ceremonies of remembrance along the track, so that we never forget the poignancy of this deeply moving place. 

Trekkers will encounter local people and culture, much of which has remained unchanged since 1942. This is a trail with a real sense of identity – you can almost see, hear and feel the events of the past. Many of our past guests have spoken of how touching it is to interact with the people here, for whom the legacy of this place will forever be shared with Australian history. 

No Roads Expeditions are careful to respect the memory of those lost, as well as the lifestyle of those still present. We are an industry leader in terms of our environmental and social policies. All our knowledgeable guides are hand-picked and trained in the history of the trail, as well as first aid and group dynamics, in order to create the best trekking experience for all our guests.

If a memorable, emotional and unforgettable trekking adventure is what you’re after, then this is the trek for you.
