East Sepik

East Sepik occupies a northern coastal and riverine belt in Papua New Guinea. Its defining waterway is the Sepik River, which crosses much of the province through lowland rainforest, swamps and floodplains before reaching the Bismarck Sea. Wewak, the provincial capital, stands on the coast and serves as an important regional centre. Along the river, many communities are known for carved wood, ceremonial masks and Haus Tambaran, spirit houses central to local traditions. The Sepik’s seasonal rhythms continue to shape travel, settlement and daily life well beyond the coast. Explore additional points of interest via webcams positioned throughout East Sepik.
