Bagging It!
Although expedition data is limited, multiple climbs have been logged via the Flores (250m) trail from the west. The typical trek is 3 days, though strong hikers complete it in 2 days by starting before dawn. From Flores, the trail leads via Bantang Camp 1 (1,030m), Camp 2 (1,770m) and Camp 3 (2,040m) just prior to the summit. The final 2 kilometres along the summit ridge includes some steep areas needing care a spot called the ‘knife edge’ but there is no significant exposure. Good views from the top in clear weather.
The Alojipan (80m) route starts to the west too, but a bit further north. It leads via the Alojipan Camp 1 (1,150m) and doesn’t meet the Flores trail until the very summit. Apparently the Flores trail is in much better condition.
Practicalities
-
- Getting there: Trailheads are in Culasi (Antique) via Flores or in Alojipan. Both trailheads are reached from Kalibo International Airport → Culasi town (2–3 h drive). From Culasi, motorbikes or tricycles bring trekkers 10–15 km to Flores village, with trail entry at a concrete bridge near Tibiao River—walk through farmland then ascend to camps (~5 h) before summit day.
-
- Permits: Register at the Culasi Police Station. Obtain a local trekking permit through tourist registration as the route crosses community territory. Hire a local guide—mandatory for navigation and community coordination.
-
- Water sources: Streams and springs are available near the initial section and at campsites.
