Explore the last  frontier of the remote Papua island and attend the Baliem  Valley Festival taking place from 9th-12th August this  year. This is the one occasion when all the diverse tribes from the  highland of Wamena and the Baliem Valley will congregate to celebrate  their annual festival. The festival will be held in the village of  Wosilimo, Wamena, in conjunction with celebrations of Indonesia’s  Independence Day on August 17.
Embrace your sense of adventure  and compete with local tribesman and hurl spears just like Leo Holding  did in the African Savanah episode of the 2009 film Take Me to the Edge.  The highlight of the festival are the mock battles among the tribes,  but there are also other attractions worth watching and participating  in. Don't worry that you're not a local, visitors from around the world  are invited to take part in many challenges, like spear hurling and  archery. End your day on a memorable note and sample some pit cooking  and look at the peculiar costumes or body decorations that the local  people brag about. Surely it will be difficult to resist the temptation  to recommend such an exciting festival to your adventurous friends and  family.
Join the crowd and learn what makes them smile, laugh,  and cheer. The Baliem  Valley Festival 2010 awaits, offering abundant memories of  the magical land of Papua.
