Entry rules

The conditions, plainly

Four rules that protect the place

Insurance is mandatory — and it must include emergency evacuation cover, helicopter included. The nearest hospital is hours away by road; nobody enters the conservation area without cover that could get them out. Check your policy's wording before you fly, not at the gate.

The forest is entered accompanied. Trails are walked with a ranger or licensed guide — for your safety, and because the guides are the difference between walking past everything and seeing it. Self-guided access is limited to designated short trails at the stays.

Nothing is taken. No hunting, no fishing, no collecting — not a beetle, not an orchid, not a pretty seed pod. This valley is a research baseline of world importance; it stays exactly as found.

Everything you carry in, you carry out. Litter included, down to fruit peel. The stays make this easy; the rule makes it stick.

Entry is registered at the road checkpoint and the paperwork is handled by your stay — arrive with valid insurance documents and the rest is done for you. Full transfer details are on the route page.
