The highest point of the Malipunyo range and Manabu's bigger sibling, a jungly ridge system between Lipa and San Pablo. Talahib chutes, mud and a viewless-but-satisfying summit make the Manabu traverse the classic route.

Access and permits

Before you go

Santo Tomas lists guide requests through the Sta. Cruz barangay outpost for Manabu Peak. That process does not establish the Talisay ascent or a full Malipunyo-Manabu traverse.

Arrange with: Lipa City tourism office for Talisay; Santo Tomas City tourism and environment offices for the Manabu side

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 Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.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