MOUNT TALAMITAM
LOCATION: Batangas Province
ELEVATION: 700+ meters above sea level
LEVEL: Minor Climb, Level I, Easy to Moderate
JUMP OFF POINTS: Nasugbu, Batangas
INFORMATION:
Mt. Talamitam is one of the mountains of Batangas. It lies
in between Mts. Batulao and Pico de Loro but separated by
vast flat lands like rice fields, farmlands and grazing lands.
If you are driving your way to Nasugbu, this is the mountain
visible from your right side after passing by Mt. Batulao.
Mt. Talamitam is not a public park and within its slopes lies
plantation areas and farmlands. During the trek, the trail
passes by private lands so observe proper courtesy and conduct.
The summit is also not that far from the villages within the
slope of the mountain so any loud noises should be avoided
especially during the night.
The mountain was christened "Mini-Pulag" by the
group since it’s peaks are also covered by grass lands
but not the dwarfs one like the ones in Pulag, instead, Cogon
grasses abounds the summit area. Because of that, the summit
commands a clear 360 degrees full view of the Batangas region
including Taal and Tagaytay City, Mt. Batulao, portions of
Cavite, and South China Sea within the Nasugbu area. This
is one mountain where you will definitely feel that you’re
"on top of the world".
