Eastern Highlands

Eastern Highlands is best known within Papua New Guinea for its highland coffee cultivation. This inland province occupies part of the country’s mountainous interior, where farmed valleys and small towns sit between steep, heavily vegetated ridges. The Lamari River is a major regional waterway, flowing south towards the Purari basin. Goroka, the provincial capital, is closely associated with the annual Goroka Show, when communities from around Papua New Guinea gather to present dance, music and ceremonial dress. Kainantu is another important centre for nearby coffee-growing districts.
