Tucked into the Wahgi Valley in Papua New Guinea’s Western Highlands, Kagamuga is a place whose character is shaped by its cool highland climate and intensively cultivated surroundings. It lies beside Mount Hagen, the provincial capital and commercial centre, far from the country’s tropical coast. Kagamuga is best known as the location of Mount Hagen Airport, an important air link for the Highlands. The wider Mount Hagen area is part of the homeland of the Melpa people and is associated with the Mount Hagen Cultural Show, where groups from across the region present dance, dress and music.
