Bagging It!
Victoria Peaks (sometimes called Mount Victoria) in Palawan includes twin summits known as “The Teeth” and a separate prominence called Sagpaw Peak. Mount Victoria is part of the Mount Beaufort ultramafic geological region and harbors unique biodiversity including the endemic pitcher plant Nepenthes attenboroughii. The ascent route is considered extremely difficult and hazardous, usually involving trekking up flash‑prone riverbeds and slippery boulder terrain, and has resulted in past fatalities.
Practicalities
-
- Getting there: Starting access is documented at Sitio Mariwara, Brgy. Princess Urduja, Narra municipality—about 2.5 hours south of Puerto Princesa by vehicle. From there, hikers cross about 15 river tributaries during approach, suggesting an arduous and route‑finding intensive trek. Beyond that, information on porters, trailhead infrastructure, or local guides is not readily available. Field logistics (transport options, basecamp details) remain unknown at present.
-
- Permits: Not formally documented—however, Mount Victoria is generally considered inaccessible without special permission, likely through local authorities or tour operators connected to Narra municipality or DENR regulations.
-
- Water sources: The route involves numerous river crossings early in the approach, up to around 15 separate tributaries, which suggests reliable water availability in the lower sections.
