Hela

Hela is best known within Papua New Guinea for the living traditions of the Huli people. This western highlands province includes the Tari Basin, where Huli communities are internationally recognised for their elaborate ceremonial dress, including distinctive wigs made from human hair. Tari, the provincial capital, serves surrounding rural districts. Steep ridges, valleys and cultivated land give Hela a markedly inland character, far from Papua New Guinea’s tropical coasts. Hela became a separate province in 2012, when it was formed from part of Southern Highlands Province. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Hela.
