What to Know About Intan Jaya

Key Facts

Intan Jaya is a regency located in the central highlands of Papua Province, Indonesia. Situated in the mountainous interior region of Western New Guinea, this administrative division was established in 2008 through the division of Paniai Regency, reflecting the Indonesian government's efforts to improve local governance and service delivery in remote areas. Covering approximately 3,922 square kilometers of rugged terrain, Intan Jaya is characterized by its dramatic mountain landscapes, dense tropical forests, and numerous river systems that flow through the region. The regency has an estimated population of around 40,000-50,000 people, primarily consisting of indigenous Papuan tribes who maintain traditional lifestyles and cultural practices. Administratively, Intan Jaya is divided into eight districts (kecamatan) that serve as the primary sub-regional governance units. The regency's economy is predominantly based on subsistence agriculture, hunting, and gathering, with limited infrastructure development due to its challenging topography and remote location. For those seeking to access postal services and administrative information, Intan Jaya's eight districts each have their own postal code designations to facilitate mail delivery and official communications throughout this mountainous region.
