Ngga Pulu, Mountain summit in Sudirman Range, Indonesia
Ngga Pulu stands at 4,862 meters in elevation, forming part of the northern rim of Mount Carstensz in western New Guinea's central mountain range.
Dutch explorers Anton Colijn, Jean Jacques Dozy, and Frits Wissel achieved the first ascent of Ngga Pulu on December 5, 1936, via the Northwall Firn route.
The summit holds particular significance as the only peak in the Carstensz region that retains its original indigenous name from the local population.
Accessing Ngga Pulu requires extensive mountaineering experience, specialized climbing equipment, and permits from Indonesian authorities for entry into the restricted mountain region.
Glacial melting caused Ngga Pulu to lose its former status as the highest peak between the Himalayas and Andes, dropping from 4,907 meters to 4,862 meters.
