Located in Nasugbu, Batangas, Mt. Talamitam stands at around 630 meters above sea level and is one of the most accessible hiking destinations near Metro Manila. Known for its grassy slopes and scenic ridgelines, the mountain offers panoramic views of Mt. Batulao, Mt. Pico de Loro, and the South Luzon countryside. Its open terrain makes it a favorite for both beginner and seasoned hikers looking for a quick yet satisfying day adventure.
Our original plan was Mt. Maculot, but two days before the climb, it was changed to Mt. Talamitam in Nasugbu, Batangas. Night trekking was certainly full of fun since there was no problem with the harmful UV rays. Talamitam is covered with cogon grass and shrubs; no hardwood or trees that can protect the hikers from the sun's rays. Its highest point measures 630+ MASL with a gorgeous ambiance on top. There's a one-meter assault to the summit, which added an amazing adventure to the hikers. Mt. Batulao and Mt. Pico de Loro were just two of the well-known mountains nearby.
