Puncak Mandala

The Puncak Mandala may be found on the Indonesian island of Papua. It is part of the Jayawijaya (Orange) Range and has an elevation of 15,617 feet above sea level. Although the pinnacle of this mountain was once covered by an ice cap, the ice has vanished altogether since 2003. Climbers from a Dutch expedition made the first ascent to the summit of this mountain on September 9, 1959. It is New Guinea's second-highest peak.

The mountain peak of Pucak Mandala is still regarded as a challenge by modern mountaineers since many individuals have failed to complete their trips to the peak's summit. Even the lowlands and highlands areas deep below the top are densely forested and difficult to travel, providing a home for many mountain animals and bird species, and meadows may be found in other locations around the mountain peak as well. There are also local people that live in the lowland areas near the mountain's foot.
