Mount Kalatungan

Mount Kalatungan is a prominent peak in the Kalatungan Mountain Range in Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines, located within Talakag municipality near Barangay Miarayon. Standing at about 2,824 meters above sea level, it is one of the highest mountains in the country and part of the Mount Kalatungan Range Natural Park. Notable for its mossy forests, grassy ridges, crater-like summit and biodiversity, it is a major destination for mountaineering and nature trekking.

Visitors can expect a challenging multi-day trek through diverse landscapes including pine forests, mossy forests, grasslands and steep ridges leading to a broad summit area. The trail from Miarayon in Talakag passes through indigenous community areas and protected natural park terrain. At the summit, hikers see panoramic views of Bukidnon, surrounding peaks including Mt. Wiji and Mt. Kilakiron, and on clear days distant Mindanao landscapes. Camping is done at designated campsites along the trail.

Mount Kalatungan is part of the Kalatungan Mountain Range declared as a Natural Park under Republic Act No. 8973 in 2000, protecting its watershed and biodiversity in central Bukidnon.

The mountain and surrounding range lie within the ancestral domain of the Manobo and Talaandig indigenous peoples and is considered culturally significant as a traditional hunting ground and sacred area.
