Fifth highest in the Philippines and the crown of the Kalatungan range, whose forest the Talaandig and Manobo keep as Idsesenggilaha - a sacred, community-conserved domain entered only after the elders' gulugundu ritual. Grass saddles, mossy ridges and enormous skies; the classic route carries on over Makaupao, the subsidiary peak better known as Wiji or Lumpanag, and exits at Pangantucan.

  • Makaupao (Wiji) traverse
  • Talaandig sacred domain
  • 5th highest in PH

Effort (1-9) is computed from distance, ascent and terrain; technical (A-E) follows the trail class, from a clear path (A) to real climbing (E). Elevations, grades and trail data are indicative - always verify with the LGU / DENR before a climb. Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.

Take Mt. Kalatungan offline

Bundok ng Pinas keeps a personal climb log, records your track with the screen off, saves this mountain's topographic map for use without signal and shows the same access notes on the trail. No account needed.
