The regency spans 12,941 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at 763 meters elevation, containing 32 districts with Kenyam as its capital center.

The Indonesian government established Nduga Regency in January 2008 through the separation from Jayawijaya Regency under Law No. 6/2008.

Indigenous communities in Nduga maintain traditional practices of subsistence farming and hunting methods, preserving their languages through generations.

Transportation within the regency relies primarily on air services and extended walking paths due to limited road infrastructure in the mountainous region.
