    Tips

    September 8, 2022

    People of Hitugi Village belong to the Dani tribe group, who have traditionally lived in circular thatched-roof huts and subsist primarily on sweet potatoes that are grown on sloping terrace fields and on raising pigs. Forest areas have been cleared in the lower and middle slope areas, besides agricultural fields, grasslands, and shrubs/bushes are the dominant vegetation. Today, Dani people mostly cultivate bananas, taro, yams, ginger, tobacco, and cucumbers. Pigs are the most important livestock species in Papua from economic as well as cultural perspectives. Most of the pigs are raised by smallholder farmers.
    The Village lies at an altitude of about 2,000 m on the middle slope of Sungai Mugi Valley. The river is a tributary of Sungai Baliem River in the central highlands of Papua Province. There are pleasant views to the Sungai Mugi and Sungai Baliem Valleys.
