The landslide reportedly hit Kaokalam Village in Enga Province, about 600 kilometres north-west of Port Moresby, about 3am.
ABC Pacific reporter Belinda Kora says rescue and recovery efforts have been hindered by the village’s remote location.
Residents say current estimates of the death toll sit above 100, though the government has not released an official death toll from the landslide.
