Welcome to Isyo Lodge
Located in the heart of Jayapura’s northern lowlands, this place opened in 2015 and has since become an accomodation in Nimbokrang.
Located along the main road between Jayapura and Sarmi, Isyo Lodge welcomes you to the heart of Papua’s northern lowlands. Jayapura—the capital of Papua—our rainforest retreat offers a peaceful blend of nature, culture, and comfort.
Set in a Namblong tribal village, our lodge features traditional-style accommodations inspired by local architecture and crafted with wood furnishings, providing an authentic stay surrounded by the sounds of the forest.
Nimbokrang is one of Papua’s top birdwatching destinations, known for its biodiversity, good infrastructure, and easy access from Sentani Airport. It’s a region rich in wildlife and deep cultural heritage.
Our day tours take you through jungle trails once used by our ancestors to barter with coastal tribes. These ancient paths lead you through lush valleys alive with exotic species. Each day brings something new—spot rare birds at sunrise, walk ancestral routes, and connect with the natural beauty of Papua’s rainforest.
Book one of our tour programs and let us welcome you with local warmth and unforgettable experiences.
