Wila is a small village located in the northern part of the country of Papua New Guinea. It is situated in the Enga Province, which is known for its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The village is primarily inhabited by the Enga people, who are part of the larger Papuan ethnic group. Wila is characterized by its lush, tropical environment, with dense forests and abundant wildlife. The local economy is largely based on subsistence farming, with crops such as taro, yams, and bananas being the main staples. The village also has a small population of pigs and chickens, which are raised for both food and income.

These traditions are an integral part of the village's cultural identity and are celebrated through various festivals and ceremonies. The village also has a strong sense of hospitality, with visitors often welcomed with traditional feasts and performances.

Despite its remote location, Wila has access to basic services such as healthcare and education. The village has a small clinic staffed by local health workers, and there is a primary school that provides education for children in the community.
