Western Highlands

Shaped around the fertile Wahgi Valley, Western Highlands developed into one of Papua New Guinea’s key highland provinces. Its centre is Mount Hagen, a busy regional town set amid intensively cultivated valleys and mountain country. The Wahgi River runs through this agricultural core, where coffee is an important crop and smallholder farming remains central to daily life. Western Highlands is also associated with the annual Mount Hagen Show, a major gathering where communities from across the country present sing-sing performances, dress and traditions. Roads linking the highlands bring a changing mix of markets, town life and rural settlements to the province.
