Tanudan, Kalinga – Have you ever visited Tanudan’s renowned ‘Silent Mountain’? Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the serenity and beauty of this place through the Lumin-awa Trekking Adventure.

This adventure forms part of the celebrations for the 5th Kalinga Bodong Festival and the 29th Kalinga Founding Anniversary in February 2024.

Following last year's exploration of Pasil and Tinglayan, this year's adventure unfolds in the Municipality of Tanudan from February 7 to 10, 2024.

One of the highlights of the itinerary includes a day at Mt. Binaratan, towering more than 1,800 meters above sea level and home to endangered species like deer, wild pigs, monkeys, and various bird species.

Mt. Binaratan is renowned as the ‘Silent Mountain’ due to its ability to hush the sounds of wildlife and even the rustle of the breeze in the forest.
