Mt. Dulang-Dulang & Pantaron Range Trek

best Jan–Apr; multi-day

Dulang-Dulang is the Philippines' second-highest peak (2,938m), entirely within Bukidnon's Pantaron mountain range — and almost entirely free of the crowds that pack Mt. Apo. The summit trail takes 2 days; the views from the high ridge cover both the Pacific coast and the Sulu Sea on clear days. Tip: hire a guide and porter through the Kitanglad Range Protected Area Service; permits available in Malaybalay. Carry a rain jacket regardless of the forecast.
