Before you go
The original source could not be retrieved in this review; only indexed context was available. DOT identifies Malasimbo among Oriental Mindoro attractions. A historical Talipanan hike account provides a guide lead, but neither source establishes current permission or guide and fee rules. Do not confuse this peak with the Bataan namesake.
Arrange with: Puerto Galera municipal tourism office and the relevant Indigenous community and barangay authorities for Talipanan

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 Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.
