Take a drive to one of PNG's highest lakes,
Lake Ivae, and enjoy the fresh produce and views at Yaskom Resort-Hotel
MORE ABOUT LAKE IVAE
One of the highest lakes in Papua New Guinea, Lake Ivae on the Sirunki Plateau, is a 40 minute drive west from Wabag Town, through rolling mountains and valleys lined with rows and patches of local food gardens and agricultural projects.
Lake Ivae has been created by a large patchment basin that is part of the Lai Valley. It's the source of one of Enga's major rivers, the Lai, which is the major tributary of the Sepik River. Lake Ivae is the habitat for a host of birds, fish and insects.
The best place to appreciate the lake is from the Lake Ivae Balcony Bar at Yaskom Resort Hotel, particularly at sunset.
Yaskom Resort serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as accomodation if you choose to stay the night and explore the area.

The Traditional Salt Extraction Method
The salt is extracted by laying special tree trunks and branches in the ponds. After a period of several months soaking in the salt water, the wood is removed and burnt to ash seperating the salt from the wood. This salt is then wrapped in leaves and traded all around the highlands and down to East Sepik in the north and Gulf in the south.
