Mount Dulang-Dulang

Mount Dulang-Dulang is the second-highest peak in the Philippines at 2,938 meters, located in the Kitanglad Mountain Range on the border of Lantapan and Talakag in Bukidnon, Mindanao. Within the Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park, an ASEAN Heritage Park, it is known for its mossy forests, high biodiversity, and status as a sacred mountain to indigenous Talaandig and Higaonon communities. It is a major mountaineering destination often climbed together with Mount Kitanglad.

Visitors can expect a strenuous multi-day trek through the Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park starting from Barangay Songco in Lantapan. The trail passes through montane and mossy forests, grassy ridges, and cloud-covered slopes with diverse flora and fauna. There are no developed summit structures; the experience centers on camping at designated campsites, ridge walking, and panoramic views of Mount Kitanglad and surrounding Bukidnon highlands. A local guide and protected area permit are required.

Mount Dulang-Dulang lies within the Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park, declared a protected area under Republic Act 8978 in 2000 and recognized as an ASEAN Heritage Park. The range has long been inhabited and protected by indigenous communities and was established as a national park in earlier decades before its current protected area status.

Regarded as sacred by the Talaandig, Higaonon and other Bukidnon indigenous groups. Traditional beliefs consider the mountain a sacred place and site for rituals and community identity, with customary practices observed by visitors such as seeking permission from elders and respecting sacred areas.
