![]() Biak Na Bato National Park by Eman Campos, on Flickr If you are looking for a chill hike near Metro Manila, San Miguel, Bulacan is the right place for you. Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Gola is best for chill hikers and beginners. You can hike these two mountains half day and then you can explore and go spelunking in Madlum Cave and Bayukbok Caves. We first hiked Mt. Gola, which almost at the same level as Mt. Manalmon (196+ MASL). We reached the summit in less than 2 hours. It has an easy trail, just need to be careful with sharp rocks. We descended after 30 minutes and the we proceed to Mt. Manalmon. MT. MANALMON San Miguel, Bulacan Major jump-off: Sitio Madlum, Brgy. Sibul, San Miguel LLA: 15°15.11’N; 121°1.22′ E; 196 MASL Days required / Hours to summit: Half-day / 1 hour Specs: Minor climb, Difficulty 2/9, Trail class 1-2 Part of the historical Biak-na-Bato National Park is an outdoor destination called Mt. Manalmon, in San Miguel, Bulacan. Although merely a hill, strictly speaking, Mt. Manalmon possesses novel landscapes, including those of Madlum River, whose rock formations compensate for an otherwise unremarkable environ. Also, nearby sites such as the Bayukbok Caves (a 2-hr exploration from the River) and Madlum cave (historical due to an 18th century relic) can be coupled with a trip to Mt. Manalmon to maximize the Biak-na-Bato experience. Also, complementing Mt. Manalmon is another elevated ground called Mt. Gola; instead of turning right at the bifurcation, going left would lead to this peak, which is also a good vantage point Source http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2007/10/mt-manalmon-196.html More about Mt.

After summitting Mt. Gola, we proceeded to Mt. Manalmon. It is suggested by the tour guides to hike Mt. Gola first since it is harder to climb than Mt. Manalmon. Here is our assault; ![]() Mt.
