Kokoda Track

The Kokoda Track is a famous hiking trail in Papua New Guinea, stretching approximately 96 kilometers (60 miles) across the rugged Owen Stanley Range. It gained historical significance during World War II when Australian troops fought against Japanese forces in 1942. The challenging terrain includes steep mountains, dense forests, and muddy paths, making it a test of endurance for trekkers. Today, the track is a popular destination for adventurers and those interested in history, offering both physical challenges and insights into the rich cultural heritage of the local people and the war's impact on the region.
