Een unieke ervaring met mooie mensen We zijn 5 dagen met Onesius Lokobal door de Baliem Valley getrokken. Onesius zorgt overal voor en komt uit deze regio. Een lokale gids is wel een voorwaarde. Hij kent de omgeving, de mensen en hij heeft ons een ervaring bezorgd, die we nooit meer vergeten. We hebben als vrienden op het vliegveld afscheid van elkaar genomen. DOEN: Wil je een onvergetelijke ervaring hebben, in een prachtige natuur en hele vriendelijke mensen ontmoeten, neem dan contact op met Onesius. Hij is zeer flexibel en stelt met jou het programma samen.

Trekking and mock battle/pig feast Baliem Valley We spent an amazing 4 days with Onesius and his guides in October this year. On our first day we visited a local village, a short hike away from where we were based, for a mock battle and pig feast in a An amazing and very fun experience with much singing and dancing. The next 3 days were spent trekking through the Southern Baliem valley. We spent 2 nights in a traditional grass hut, in the beautiful village of Kilise. The hut was basic, but comfortable, with mattresses and pillow. All our food was carefully and meticulously prepared by Onesuis and his guides and was so abundant we could barely eat it all! On our first evening Onesius arranged for us to to visit the home of a local woman from a neighbouring village to experience the traditional baking of sweat potatoes using heated rocks and copious amounts of green leaves. A unique experience we shall not forget. In short Onesius is a kind, honest, caring and genuine man, who went out of his way to ensure that we were happy and well looked after at times. He is well known in the area, having grown up himself in a local Dani village, and we received a warm “Wah, wah, wah!” welcome everywhere we went. I thoroughly recommend Onesius as a trip organiser and guide. He is conscientious, reliable, well organised and considerate. He replied to all prior communication re arrangements through WhatsApp promptly. Finally, I would like to note that we initially arranged our trek with Onesuis 3 years ago and paid a deposit via Paypal. Our trip was then postponed due to the pandemic and Onesuis and I kept in touch and he honoured our previously arranged plans and deposit when we were finally able to make our trip. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Amazing experience Finally i found them! Cannibals tribes…who are located in Papua….. didn’t feel scray when meet them, but just feel it is really amazing that some people are still living in completely different life style nowadays…..Here also would like to appreciate the local guide Mr Onesius, who still show me a lot what i want to see under my tightly budget……. appreciate again for his arrangements!

Amazing experience: Onesius takes care of everything Onesius gives you an amazing experience in the nature of Baliem Valley and with the people you meet.

Trekking 5 days in Baliem We stayed 5 days in the Baliem valley, Onesius organized 5 wonderful days for us, including trekking and visits to interesting sites.I recommend Onesius and his staff as a guide, he is very organized, prepared, precise, punctual, caring and honest, very reliable person.Initially we wanted to organize the trekking days independently but I strongly advise against it and indeed I advise you to rely on an expert and caring guide as we did.

Amazing, authentic and safe 3 days Baliem valley tour We went a 3 day trek with Onesius and his two porters: Samuel and Theo who were the nicest, funniest and most caring team we could have hoped for. Onesius was always very careful with food, water and our general safety. We really enjoyed the tour, which was made up of 3 villages with a preference for the second village: Klise, which is a must see. Onesius has friends in each village and as a result we experienced very authentic evenings in family huts and shared dinners with the locals. If you are interested in this tour, and you’re looking for a safe but authentic experience then Onesius is the only guide you should call.

An experience we will never forget. For an everlasting experience go for à multiple day trekking in the Baliem Valley. Of course you go for a local guide and we then highly recommend Onesius Lokobal. He is an experienced guide, originates from the Valley and can tell you all you want to know. He really takes care of everything. He will ask a fair price and the local people will benefit also from what you pay. When you leave the Valley after your trekking, you will leave a friend. We will never forget this week with Onesius.

3d/2n trekking Baliem valley with Brother Onesius We (family of 5) did a 3 day tour in Jan 2022 with brother Onesius in the Baliem valley. It was a great experience. Brother Onesius took care of all permits needed to visit the Baliem vallley. From the moment we contacted brother Onesius he proposed a very interesting itinerary which matched with our time and expectations. Brother Onesius is very knowledgable about the area and we had a great time hiking with him in the Baliem Valley. Day 1 we visited Jiwika village and after that we hiked to salt water wells called Elueaimo where we saw the proces of the Dani people cultivating banana salt in the Dani traditional way. Day 2 we hiked up on the green hills to Klise where we spend the night in a traditional hut (homestay). Day 3 we hiked back on another route to Kurima, crossed the river twice by suspension bridges and arrived in Sogokmo where a car was waiting to bring us back to Wamena. Besides brother Onesius we had 3 porters taking care of al the food, water and some luggage. We felt very good taken care off from the moment we arrived at Wamena airport until the moment we left. We recommend booking your trekking in the Baliem valley with brother Onesius.

Amazing experience thanks to Onesius We had a great experience with Onesius guiding us trough the Baliem Valley. From the moment we arrived on the airport until the moment we left Wamena 5 days later, Onesius took care of us and made sure we experienced the best of this wonderful region. He prepared everything very well and is very punctual. Because Onesius has already 10 years experience as a guide, we felt really safe and he introduced us at very interesting local people. We would really recommend everyone to contact Onesius to arrange a tour with him. He can customize the tour to your needs and wishes which leads to an experience you will never forget.
