Mumi suku Dani
Mumi suku Dani I visited this museum on December 2017. See the AGAT MOMETE MABEL Me of seven mummies that has been hundreds year's ago,the museum is located inside the village of Dani's tribe however The entrance fee Super expensive amounting Dr 1,5 million for Two person's. Once you paid for this You can take Picture with the mummies at it is included in the package ,there are other Attractions suchas tradition ritual and Story of Dani's So, it was very lateresty and eventagh the fee is expensive but very interesting experience from that

Mummies in the Baliem valley, Papua
They are old, 200-300 years old. People keep the mummy of an ancestor in their houses. The chief of the tribe said he did not want to be burned when he died. So a mummy was made by drying the body. It is always in a sitting position. The people take the mummy out of the house for some ceremonies like funerals, marriage, etc.

Off the beaten track
To reach this area you have to hike through jungle for about 30 minutes. The bridge is our so to cross the river you have to take a dug out canoe that hold two people and sit in dried leaves on the bottom of the boat. The owner is the grandson of the mummy. One you get to other side he leads you to his home where he shows you the mummy which is about 100 years old and he was a tribal chief. There was only his father there whom we got to met. Not touristy at all. Quite simple and poor area.
