Kebar Valley

A notable path runs through the Kebar Valley connecting Saukorem to the settlement of Andai and reaches an altitude of 1,200 m (3,900 ft).

At the western end of the valley, quaternary basin sediments are cut by the Kasi River and exposed in terraces up to 30 m (98 ft) high.

The weather in the valley is subject to seasonal influence of the northwest monsoon from November to March, and the southeast trade winds from June to September.

Limited meteorological observations indicate a relatively dry season for half of the year along the northern and central part of the valley, especially when the trade winds are blowing from the southeast.

Morning clouds and ground fog may hamper aircraft operations in regions surrounding the valley during dry season.

[3] The growing populations in the valley resulted from Christian missionaries that moved through this region of the Bird's Head Peninsula.
