Date:

Duration:

2:30h

Distance:

3.2km

This is my 2nd hike of the year as a comeback hiker. Kalisungan is a beginner friendly mountain but for those who are not prepared the continuous assault will be a challenge. We started at 5AM in the morning, still dark with just our headlamps lighting the paths. The trail starts off from a cement road then opening up to a banana forest, this is a very slow ascent compared to what I had from Mt Ulap. As soon as you get past the banana forest, The terrain changes from flat ground to loose rocks/soil, turning to a 45degrees climb, the trail is clear as this is a popular mountain around the area. You can hear birds cooing and calling out in the dark, one of the hikers in our group mimic one of the calls and the birds actually called back, and it happened several times.
