Key Facts

Pogoma is a district (kecamatan) located in Puncak Regency, Papua Province, Indonesia. Situated in the central highlands of Papua, Pogoma lies within the rugged mountainous terrain that characterizes much of Puncak Regency, positioned in the eastern part of this administrative region. The district 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. As part of the broader administrative structure, Pogoma is divided into multiple villages (desa) that form the basic governance units within the district. The region's topography is dominated by steep mountain slopes, deep valleys, and dense tropical forests, creating challenging but ecologically rich landscapes. Pogoma's economy is predominantly based on subsistence agriculture, with sweet potatoes, taro, and other root crops forming the staple diet, supplemented by hunting and gathering from the surrounding forests. The district's remote location and difficult terrain mean that infrastructure development remains limited, with access primarily through mountainous tracks rather than paved roads. For those seeking detailed geographical information or postal code data for Pogoma's constituent villages, comprehensive resources are available to help navigate this remote but culturally significant Papuan district.
