BACKGROUND
Talamitam is a mountain that had a more glorious past. It was named after the talamitam trees that used to grow on its slopes – a reminder of the time when Talamitam had lush vegetation and untarnished ecosystems. Today, it is a bald mountain, but efforts are underway to rehabilitate the peak with tree planting and other initiatives.
The trail to Talamitam is easy, taking just 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete the trek up to the summit. However, it can be a very exhausting hike if the sun is up, because there is little tree cover.
The trail starts at the end of a rough road descent to Talamitam river, and from here, a short woodland trek would connect you to a grassland slope that has sparse vegetation. There are many trail variations, most of them leading to the plateau where the peak of Talamitam sits. From here, it is easy to just follow whichever trail leads to the peak.
The summit assault takes about 20-30 minutes; it does not require scrambling, and the trail is established, save for the talahib that can slow you down, especially during the rainy season.
