Key Facts

Gome is a district (kecamatan) located in Puncak Regency, Papua Province, Indonesia. Situated in the central highlands of Papua, Gome occupies a strategic position within the mountainous terrain that characterizes much of Puncak Regency. This district lies approximately in the northeastern part of the regency, surrounded by the rugged peaks and valleys that give the region its name, which translates to 'Peak' in Indonesian. Gome covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers and serves as home to several thousand residents, primarily from indigenous Papuan communities who maintain traditional lifestyles and cultural practices. The district is administratively divided into multiple villages (desa) that are scattered throughout its challenging topography, with local governance centered around the district administrative center. Gome's economy is predominantly based on subsistence agriculture, with sweet potatoes, taro, and other root crops being staple foods, supplemented by small-scale coffee cultivation in some areas. The district's remote location and difficult terrain mean that infrastructure development remains limited, with most transportation relying on footpaths and occasional light aircraft access. For those seeking to access postal services or communicate with residents in Gome's various villages, understanding the specific postal code information for each sub-region is essential for effective mail delivery and communication in this remote part of Indonesia.
