It is part of the Bismarck Range and is located in the central highlands region of the country. The mountain is known for its diverse ecological zones, ranging from tropical rainforests at its base to alpine grasslands and mossy forests near its summit. The climb to the top of Mount Wilhelm is popular among trekkers and typically takes two to three days, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape and, on clear days, even glimpses of both the north and south coasts of Papua New Guinea.
