How easy is it to hike Mount Manalmon?
We hiked with minimal supervision to our 4 year-old baby James. When we are about to take his hand, he always says "Kaya ko na!".

Tipid Tip :
Meals are too pricey. Take time to bring packed lunch and trail food to minimize buying at the jump-off if you don't have that much budget. But if you really want to help them, it's just okay to buy Php90 meal with free soup.

Lioness and Rhino Rock Formation in Norzagaray, Bulacan was the event that I created for this day but when we get there it was facing environmental issues about quarrying so we were not able to get in. I just asked my husband to have an option 2 for the day if the Lioness activity will not push through. I just asked him where the jump-off will be for Mount Manalmon. But while writing this, I came to know that you can reach two peaks in just one hike. The other peak and is just 30 minutes away from Manalmon Peak was Mount Gola. And if you have a service vehicle you can push through with swimming and caving at Minalungao National Park. Next time we get along the area I will make sure to be back at Minalungao Park.
Thank you so much Jane and Mark for some photos.

Hi Ma'am, we are planning to visit Manalmon by next week.. would just like to ask if there are other necessary preparations prior to visiting the place like permits or waivers? thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello genobreakr! No necessary permits po. Punta lang po kayo sa jump-off nandun po lahat ng bayarin po, guide and registration fee. Don't forget to hike the twin peak, Mount Gola. You can also take a side trip to Minalungao Park. Ingatz po =)
ReplyDeleteMaraming salamat sa info ma'am :D
Deletehi mam..ask ko lang po pano guide fees and ung trail na if magsidetrip sa Minalungao Park?
Deleteyun din po ba ung Minalungao Park na nasa Nueva Ecija area? connected po sila?
Hello po, tanong ko po sana if magkano ang bayad for guides and updated fees sa Manalmon at Gola? Di na po ba talaga kailangan ng permit? (makulit lang) May nabasa po kasi ako na day before the hile kailangan makakuha ng permit. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello po BatangKapampangan =) Sorry po ah late reply kc matagal po akong di nag net. Parang may nabasa rin po ako na kelangan po muna ng permit ngayon sa Gola at Manalmon... Sobrang kakalungkot nga po kc masyado na nacommercialize ang lugar eh sobrang dali lang akyatin nun pero napakaganda. Itry ko po isearch pero nung nagpunta po kami Php300 lang po ang guide pero required po talaga kahit sobrang dali po ng trail. Tulong na lang po natin yun sa locals pero yung bagong rules nila bago umakyat dyan sa ngayon ay hindi ko pa po lubusang nababasa. Ingatz po sa mga akyat nyo... Kita kitz po sa mga susunod na akyat =)
DeleteHi Ma'am thank you po sa blog po niniyo and sa mga info update lang po para sa blog po niyo at sa mga readers about po sa permit yung requirements and procedure.

Thank you po!
Hello po! Wala na po ako update. Nag message lang po dati ang Madlum pero i accommodate naman po siguro nila kayo kung aakyat po kayo. Try nyo rin po ibang minor climbs, marami po sa Rodriguez, Rizal, puro minor at magaganda. Minor din ang Mt. Batulao, Mt. Talamitan sa Nasugbu, Batangas. Check nyo na lang din po mountain climbing blogs ko po. Thank you po for dropping by.
DeleteBeen there with my family already. The experience was great and I will definitely come back soon! Highly recommended for beginners, even kids can do it!
ReplyDeleteI also recommend our tour organizer, Chaty, her entire staff was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. As in from the van drivers to the local guides.
