Key Facts

Oksamol is a district (kecamatan) located within the Pegunungan Bintang Regency in the Papua Province of Indonesia. Situated in the central highlands of Papua, Oksamol lies within the rugged Star Mountains range that gives the regency its name, positioned in the northeastern part of the regency near the border with Papua New Guinea. This remote district covers approximately 1,200 square kilometers of mountainous terrain characterized by dense tropical forests, steep valleys, and elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 meters above sea level. Oksamol has an estimated population of around 8,000-10,000 people, primarily consisting of indigenous Papuan tribes who maintain traditional lifestyles and subsistence farming practices. The district is administratively divided into several villages (desa) including Oksamol itself as the administrative center, with local governance operating through the district office that coordinates with the regency government in Oksibil. Transportation remains challenging with limited road infrastructure, relying mainly on small aircraft to the Oksibil airport and walking trails connecting villages. The local economy depends predominantly on agriculture, with sweet potatoes, taro, and vegetables as staple crops, supplemented by hunting and gathering from the surrounding forests. For residents and visitors seeking to navigate this remote region, accessing accurate postal code information for Oksamol's villages is essential for mail delivery, administrative purposes, and connecting with the wider Indonesian postal system.
