Puncak Jaya Regency
Puncak Jaya Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in Papua province, Indonesia. It is an inland highland regency,[1] lying directly east of Paniai Regency and west of Jayawijaya Regency.[2] As of 2004, it was reported that these three regencies had a population that is 93–97% ethnic Papuan.[1]
The capital of the regency is Mulia.[3][4][5]
According to a 2009 profile in Indonesia's Tempo magazine, Puncak Jaya has 16 subdistricts and 147 villages, and 147,000 residents.[6] It is a difficult ten-hour drive from Wamena (Jayawijaya Regency) to the mostly undeveloped regency. Separatists in the Free Papua Movement are active in the area.[6]
Puncak Jaya, a mountain peak, is the highest mountain in Indonesia - and in fact the highest anywhere between the Andes and the Himalayas.
