3 times the challenge is what Mt. Manalmon offers. located at San Miguel Bulacan. Trekking, caving, and zip line will make this place unforgettable. A 2 hour trek that will pass through Madlum cave then passing through Madlum river is only the start. When you reach the summit, fresh air blowing in your face and a view of Sierra Madre and Mt. Arayat with take all your stress and troubles away. Set camp, cook dinner and social with your friends. In the morning a great view of the sunrise will start your day right. Take pictures and start to descent, the start of the 2nd adventure awaits. At the jump off, there is a river that you can pass through by land or crossing a 2 high powered wires (for your hands and feet). You can jump to the river in the middle of the wire but CAUTION is a MUST. And i suggest doing this after our 3rd adventure :). One of the reason why Biak-na-Bato is famous is because of their caves. Bayukbok Cave, a 2 hour exploration put the icing in the cake of our adventure. After this exploration, have lunch near the jump off and swim in the river is also an option.
Estimated budget: 800-1000 Pesos
