Kundiawa is the capital of Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, with a population of 8,147. It lies along the Highlands Highway approximately halfway between Goroka and Mount Hagen, respectively the capitals of the Eastern Highlands and Western Highlands provinces. Kundiawa is located very high up in the mountians of PNG. It's quite breath taking to make a landing at the airstrip with a vertical mountain face as you approach the airport.
