BovenDigoel
8.4
Lower score (below 6)
Inland swamp region pressed against the PNG border—one of Indonesia's most remote and difficult-to-access places. Medical care is hours away by boat, supplies are inconsistent, and the infrastructure is basically non-existent. This isn't a place to visit; it's a place field researchers go when they have no choice.
