As part of the Biak-na-Bato National Park, Mt. Manalmon is a great outdoor destination that is very near Metro Manila. Here, one can spend a day of hiking, swimming and spelunking and you'll definitely have an exceptional weekend adventure.
Getting there
- Take any Cabanatuan-bound bus from Cubao or Pasay (Baliwag Transit, ES Transport, and Five Star Transport). SCTEX buses don't pass by San Miguel. Be sure to ask if it will pass by San Miguel, Bulacan.
- Get off at Brgy. Kamias Junction in San Miguel Bulacan. Travel time from Manila is around 2.5 hours.
- Go to the tricycle terminal and hire a tricycle going to the jumpoff point - Brgy. Madlum. Travel time is about 45 minutes.
Travel Expenses and Climbing Fees
- Bus fare from Pasay to San Miguel Bulacan - Php 124.00
- Tricyle rental (good for 3 persons) - Php 150.00
- Guide fee for Mt. Manalmon (overnight)- Php 600.00

Although one day is enough to experience all the activities that Mt. Manalmon offers, I suggest that you spend at least two days to maximize all the adventures that you can find here. Truly, the Mt. Manalmon experience is one of the best we've had so far.
