Mt Kitanglad Bukidnon
When I first heard that Mt Kitanglad is a challenging to climb for the mountain climbers because the small and slippery trail and the unpredicted weather. Here I will tell you what this mountain consist and its capable to so called the one of the favorite mountain to climb for mountaineers.
Mt. Kitanglad towers more than 2,500 meters which offers a challenge to mountain climbers. To reach it’s summit, one has to scale its ranges for five hours passing through flora and fauna of a genuine virgin forest is nice to see the forest because of its rare and plants and other animals that you usually saw in forest. At the base is Lawan Dalawangan, which is the home of the Philippine Eagle. The Kitanglad mountain range which dominates the north-central portion of the Bukidnon Plateau plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of North and Central Mindanao. Aside from being the homeland of indigenous cultural communities of Bukidnon, it is also a major watershed providing water for power generation, irrigation, and domestic use for the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental.
It’s safe to scale the mountain all year round. Access to the Province of Bukidnon is through Cagayan de Oro City. Daily plane flights from Manila and Cebu are available. From Cagayan de Oro, the park can be reached by regular public transport (jeepneys and buses) plying the Cagayan-Bukidnon routes. Three existing trails lead to the mountain summit. The first trail is located at Intavas, La Fortuna, Impasug-ong town, the second trail is at Barangay Lupiagan, Municipality of Sumilao, and the third starts at Bol-ogan, Songco and Kaatuan, Lantapan, Bukidnon.
