1,966 meter above sea level to 2954m. Sometimes it is not enough to measure the height of the mountain. The degree in difficulty is more important.Like Mt HALCON is not really that high but just to get to the jump off point is already a day and half trek.Then when you climb it, terrain is really difficult, that there is no turning back.It will take you about a week to climb it. But the experience is definitely worth it. The one in Cebu Island is the best it has tall waterfalls and down at the low areas there are beaches.

I know a place that it will take you only half day to reach the peak but it has 17 waterfalls of all sizes . the smallest one has the size of jacuzzi..looks like a jacuzzi really..nice..

by the way, most of the mountains in Philippines are volcanoes. But mostly dormant.So,no problem. The smallest volcano- taal volcano is actually surrounded by fresh water enclave..there you can make an arrangement with the local agency to camp overnight in one of the dead crater..we did it and it was really cold.There are about a dozen craters for this island volcano.The active crater well,you can not even get near it..hehehe..

Usually takes days for you to reach the summit and sometimes there are mountains that you can scale overnight.Do river crossing and cross hanging bridge.You go further north,it is really cold as it is near China already.So, during the cold season you can really feel the cold wind and frost. That is in Bangued area, near the famous Rice terraces. Here also as you climb you may want to visit the ancient mummy in caves. Believe to be a tradition handed down by ancient chinese.It is really cold out there..

Maybe, I can be your guide when you plan to do mountain climbing in Phils if I am free .Better get in touch with local mountaineering clubs in Philippines to get you a free guide.They will surely show you good places.

Yeah but first let us do mountain climbing here in Malaysia.

Let us all meet.Then we plan.

Thank you J.C.
