Are all of these registered trekking companies? Looks like some dodgy brothers out there. I didn’t notice any reviews for Kokoda Courage or the bloke I witnessed attempting to trek alone with no assistance. Keep up the good work Charlie And keep the bastardy honest.
Thanks Fiona. It is clear that there is little governance on the trail at the moment and that unregistered companies and private groups are free to operate without any fear of detection – it also means local villagers are missing out on their fair share of benefits from the industry and this is the cause of considerable unrest along sections of the trail. Unfortunately cost is an issue and some will trek with blackbirders who continue to exploit their guides and carriers – because the can!
