More than 50 homes, many with people still asleep inside, were buried when the landslide hit Kaokalam village, which is in Enga province, about 600km north of capital Port Moresby.
The landslide hit two villages in southwestern city of Zhaotong. Nearly 1,000 rescue workers have been dispatched, along with 200 rescue vehicles, state media reported.
The men are currently caught in a 400-metre buffer zone, about 60-70 metres of rocky debris away from rescuers, who say the main challenge now is the loose gravel which keeps falling.
40 men have been locked inside an underpass since early hours of Sunday after a portion of it collapsed in the landslide prone area. Authorities hope the men will be pulled out today.
