This is a sequel to my blog post about Kape-An sa Kalugong and Mt Yangbew which are all located in La Trinidad, Benguet also known as the Salad Bowl of the Philippines. Mt. Kalugong's Summit is characterized by various limestone and rock formations which is similar to that of Mt. Pamitinan.
Mt. Kalugong which means "hat" in Ilocano is an eco-park that has an almost 400 ft. (395ft) ascent from the main road to the summit. There are several reasons why this mountain is quickly becoming popular. First, it has a coffee shop and a resto atop its summit. Second, it offers a picturesque view of the whole valley giving a panoramic view of pastureland and pine forests. Third, since it is an eco-park, there are several native huts, benches and tables, swing, and even zip lines erected in the conifer-covered area of the mountain making it ideal for the whole family. Fourth, it offers dramatic karst and limestones formations of different sizes and shapes. And lastly, it is just minutes away from Baguio City making it a great getaway from the busy and bustling city life for everyone who wants to commune with nature.
How to Get There:
1. From Baguio City, you can ride jeepneys bound for Tomay (terminal is in Magsaysay Ave.)
2. Tell the driver to drop you off at the junction to Brgy. Tawang
