Mt. Victoria

Book Now!

Overview

In the tradition of Mt. Mantalingajan rises another giant in Palawan, “The Last Frontier of Philippine Mountaineering ''. Mount Victoria in the municipality of Narra is an unexplored and wild destination, with its unbelievable array of flora and fauna just starting to be discovered. Very recently, a “spectacular” rat-eating pitcher plant” was discovered in Mt. Victoria, creating a global sensation for scientists and media alike. It has since been named Nepenthes Attenboroughii and is just one of the species that are beginning to unravel in this mountain paradise. Then, of course, the cultural value of this mountain is equally significant, being home to the native Tagbanua tribe.

The terrain of Mt. Victoria is diverse, exciting, and therefore a treat to the intrepid trekker. To start with, a biodiversity of its magnitude can only be nourished by an abundance of water. Hence the numerous water forms in Mt. Victoria: streams, waterfalls, and even lagoons. You can only imagine the unexplored species lurking in these hidden lakes. For their part, mountaineers have to ford these streams and falls; indeed “80% of the trail involves crossing major and minor rivers”.
