Taking Extreme Domestic Flight to the World's Most Dangerous Tribal Region
There is no road at all. Where do I have to go, man? I don't understand anything here. Which flight is which? Who is going where? Where are these people going? It's an amazing airport, man. Everything here is next level. Very dangerous. This is the area where you need security guards to travel with.
Oh, which market is this? The atmosphere is also looking very dangerous. Some people are following me. They say, sit in the car quickly. Hey, Chichu! Hey, Dukku! Hey! Hey! Hey! It's a very rural area, man. It's a weird type of market. The local people here, the tribal people here, man.
Sister, sister, sister. Everyone has come to meet. This is the condition of my shoes. What is this? Sweet potato. These people are very bitter, man. Okay, father, when will you go? Hey guys, very good morning and welcome back to the new vlog. My name is Tourvashu.
Right now, I am in the third largest island country in the world, in the capital of Papua New Guinea, Port Morrisby. In this country, one of the highest crime rates in the world is there. Many countries have issued travel advisories to this country to not travel. Because here, violent crime, kidnapping, murder, civil unrest, carjacking, tribal violence, armed robbery, home invasion, are very normal and very common.
Right now, I am at my host Ono's house in Port Morrisby. Because very few tourists visit this country, so this country is very unexplored. Papua New Guinea is administratively divided into 4 regions and 22 provinces. One of these 4 regions is the Highlands region, which is at the center of this country.
So today, we are going to travel in that Highlands region. PNG is a country where the situation changes suddenly without any warning. Law and order are very poor here. All the travelers who come to this country, hire a very expensive tour guide and private security to travel in this country, for safety reasons. This country has been independent for 48 years.
And even today, the infrastructure in this country is not well developed. So to travel in this country, you will have to either take a flight or a boat, because there is no road in the whole country. So cities and regions are not connected to each other in this country. So I'm leaving outside the house. Hello.
Hello. Hello, good morning. Good morning.
Vegetables? Yes. There is no road to go to that region. So today, we are going to take a domestic flight to Papua New Guinea. The history of domestic flights in Papua New Guinea is very poor.
My flight was already at 9 in the morning. I got a message last night that the flight was delayed for 3 hours. My flight is at 12 o'clock. So it's 9 o'clock in the morning. We are about to leave for the airport in a while.
So far, we have explored the capital of Papua New Guinea. Today, we are going to a place where a lot of tourists go. It's very deep, very remote area, countryside.
I don't know if there will be any development there or not. I have no idea. There is no information about that region on the internet. It's very limited information. So now we start a very raw adventure in Papua New Guinea.
And that region is also very unsafe. There have been a lot of attacks and tribal fights. So I have to be very careful and travel.
Let's see what happens. Now it's time to leave from here. This is Pono and Nido's dad's car. I have to drop Nido and her father at the airport. Nido, good morning. Good morning.
What are you doing? I'm training the car. Oh, you drive the car, Nido? No, I don't. My dad won't allow me. Okay, you can drive or no? You can drive, but your dad won't allow you. So they are setting up a barbecue outside to cook food.
You'll cook food here? Yeah. So look, there will be a restaurant here. They will cook chicken and meat here.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye, nice to meet you. Yeah, you too. So this is Pono's sister. Okay, thank you so much.
Bye-bye. Thank you so much. There are a lot of people who are going to drop me at the airport. You can see, there are two kids.
The door outside the house is always locked. With a chain and a lock. The airport is about 7-8 km from here. So we'll reach the airport in 10-15 minutes. We have reached the airport.
Port Morrisby's domestic airport and international airport are next to each other. Okay, bye-bye. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
There is very little international travel in Papua New Guinea. There are very few international flights. And the international airport looks completely empty. But there is a lot of domestic travel here.
And domestic flights operate a lot. Because there is no road in the whole country. There is very little road. There is very limited connectivity. So most people fly here by flight.
So the domestic airport is very crowded here. There are a lot of people here. I have reached the airport 2.5 hours before the domestic flight. There is a very long line here.
You can see. I have checked the security. I don't know how long it will take to get inside. There are security guards here. Hello. I have come 2.5 hours before the domestic flight.
I told them that I should have come an hour earlier. There is a very long queue. See what happens. Okay, Neelu.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Thank you so much. See you then. So we have reached the domestic airport of Port Morrisby. There is a lot of rush.
It took a lot of time to get inside and check the security. The security clearance of the whole bag was outside. So let's check in. We will meet after completing all the processes. I don't know how long it will take.
There are around 2 hours left for the flight. You can see a lot of rush. If it was international, it would have been empty. Where do I have to go? Let's talk to you after the flight check-in. I don't know how long it will take to reach the check-in counter.
Hello. Hello. Are you going to Mount Hagen? Yes.
On which flight? PX-182. 182? Yeah. This one? PX-182. 182? Yes.
My flight got a 3-hour delay. It's 9.20 but it's 12.20. I can go to the front? Excuse me.
It's okay? Okay. Thank you. They are telling me to go ahead.
I don't know. I don't understand anything. Which flight? Which one? Where are they going? It's all chaotic.
I don't understand anything. Let's go ahead. The security lady has told me to go ahead.
Let's see. It's very confusing. It's taking a lot of time to check-in. I have told someone that I am standing here. Let's see.
I will be back in a while. I didn't have breakfast or anything in the morning. I have seen only one shop in the airport.
I am getting something to eat here. There is a cafe. There is a cake, pastry, tea, coffee and snacks. I will get some coffee from here. You can see.
People are standing in traditional local dress. There is a painting on their face. They are selling things here.
There is a painting on their face. Amazing. Let's see what I get. There is only coffee.
Hot and cold. There is a sandwich of every kind. Egg sandwich, chicken sandwich, ham sandwich. One ice latte? No. No? Not available at the moment. No ice? Any ice tea you have? No.
No ice tea? Any coffee you have? Any ice coffee? No. No ice coffee? Only hot. Only hot.
Okay. I am saying ice tea by mistake. Which hot coffee you have? All the hot coffees are available except the ice coffee. Okay. Okay. One coffee latte? Medium large.
Large? And without sugar? No sugar? They are making coffee here. Papua New Guinea's coffee is very popular worldwide. Even Papua New Guinea exports coffee to many countries.
And how much? 13 Kina. 13 Kina. Okay. The coffee is for 13 Kina. Presently, one Kina is 23 Indian Rupees. It is for 300 Rupees.
It is for 13 Kina. I am giving them 20 Kina note. Okay. Thank you. Okay.
This is our last coffee. This is one Kina? Yes. Yesterday, I found a coin of one Kina here. Look at this.
There are crocodiles on it. And there is a hole on the center. It is a very unique and different coin. So guys, finally after standing in the queue for 2 hours, I got a check-in and a boarding pass. The flight is still 30 minutes away. And there was a lot of noise at the domestic airport.
Because there is no limit. At that time, I felt that I won't be able to get a boarding pass. I will miss the flight. But people told me to relax. If I miss the flight, I will book the next flight. It is normal here.
If you book a flight, if you miss the flight by mistake, then you will get the next flight after 1-2 hours. It is very normal here. The flight also runs like a passenger train. I feel so ashamed to vlog here. It feels so weird. Everyone is staring at me.
Whoever is talking to me here, everyone is asking me, what is your business? What is your business? What is your business? When I say that I have not come here for business, I have come to visit tourists, people are very surprised and shocked. I can see some foreigners here. I have spoken to some foreigners. Everyone is here for business. The flight was scheduled for 9.20 pm.
It has been rescheduled for 12.25 pm. The boarding time is written half an hour before the boarding pass. Only 10-15 minutes are left for the flight.
But the boarding gate has not been announced yet. He is saying that he will tell us 5 minutes before which is the boarding gate and when to board. The flight can be delayed even more. There is no trust here. That's why the record of Penji's domestic flight is very poor.
The security is shouting, flight cancelled, flight cancelled, flight cancelled. I don't know which flight has been cancelled. I don't understand anything. Everything is so chaotic. For the first time in my life, I have seen such a chaotic airport.
People are fighting to enter the boarding gate. My flight is after 3-4 minutes. My boarding gate has not been opened yet. I don't know where to go. I have taken an egg sandwich.
Is this mango or orange? It's mango. It's mango juice. The total cost is 21 PIN.
It's around 500 INR. The flight has been delayed for 3 hours. The time has also been exceeded.
I am going to the highlands of Papua New Guinea. The name of the place is Mount Hagen. From Port Moresby. The aerial distance is around 500-550 km.
It's just a one-hour flight. My boarding is starting after 3.5 hours from the original time Finally, they said they won't go today, they will go tomorrow I will show you the access, Hairline is over there But the ticket checkers here have a traditional face painting from Highlands I have come out of the boarding gate, I don't know where to go Look how the bags are kept here, oh my god Everything is very dangerous here, there is a lot of noise Is this a runway or an airport? No parking is written here Let's go, there is a lot of noise It is written above, Welcome to Port Morrisby Jackson International Airport Domestic, I don't know where I have to go, but I am walking with people The airport is amazing, everything is next level here The gate is coming after the runway, I don't know which one is mine Gate number is written here, Gate 6 Papua New Guinea is the ultimate, everything is expensive at the airport As if it is the price of a European airport Papua New Guinea?
