Puncak Jaya (Carstensz Pyramid)

This is the latest re these guesthouses
Dr Werner Weiglein is leading the cause though it may not be apparent.
He lives in Berlin and it seems the Papuan Governor spends a lot of time there promoting Werners projects. Werner will control all access to this facility
I have it on good authority that there will be a new route opened to Puncak Jaya via Tsinga, its been planned for some time and will involve villagers specifically from Tsinga Village. They will greatly benefit its hoped. The route to PJ will come in via a northerly route and has been mapped out. It will be just a short flight from the Freeport airport at Timika. It is then only 12 kilometres to PJ via old trails.
The locals with the assistance of Freeport Social and Local Development department are now in the process of learning how to run this type of program and learn about mountaineering and develop homestays. I have seen the route maps for this. It will be interesting to see if Werner has a strong influence on this local community, keeping in mind the vast amounts of money he is currently earning taking large groups to PJ. His investment is large and upkeep of the Papuan Governor is not cheap with all that business travel to Berlin.
Dr. Werner Weiglein is chairman of the German-Indonesian society in Frankfurt. By the edict of the Indonesian President of State he disposes of the right of residence for life in Indonesia.
Cartenz Summit Tourism Development
Home Stays Will be Build This Year
TIMIKA - The Mimika Regional Government is taking part in the development of the Carstenz summit as a tourist destination. One of the programs it will be engaged in with the Papua Government is the building of home stays with accompanying facilities that would attract tourists.
The head of the Youth, Sports, Culture and Tourism Office for the Mimika regency Adolf Halley recently told Radar Timika contractors have already submitted the building plans for homestays and have received approval from PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) to transport the building materials. Freeport approval is a prime requirement as materials must be moved across their area of operations.
"It must cross the open mining area, before it can be moved up to the Carstenz. Means of transportation by chopper or by manpower are under discussion," Adolf said.
He added promotion of the Carstenz summit as a tourist destination is not only done locally but also abroad. As a starter will be a presentation on the Carstenz summit given by the Governor of Papua in Berlin.
The agenda for this has already been submitted to the Bupati of Mimika Klemen Tinal. Adolf was asked to prepare all documentation related to the Carstenz summit.
Deputy Bupati, Abdul Muis ST MM, said the presentation and the promotion will take place in Berlin from March 7-27. Here foreign audiences will learn there is also snow in the tropics.
Another supporting facility to promote the location is the Tsinga airport. Built by PTFI the airport project will be officially opened on March 23. Another supporting factor is the land route from Jila to the snowcapped summit.
In an effort to develop the location as a tourist destination the Mimika regional government is working in coordination with the provincial government because it concerns a provincial program although the Carstenz summit is located in the regency of Mimika.
