Camping Trip at Mt. Kibalabag
Hello guys,
I know its been a very long hiatus for me to start blogging again in this precious website. I’ve shared a lot of memories here and I’m glad that through the years this website has been always there. So just like the old times, I’ll be sharing one of my recent activities despite the pandemic.
Last month, the hospital where i was moonlighting/currently working planned a camping trip to one of Bukidnon’s Mountains. Fortunately, the owner of the hospital owned a rest house on the area where we could stay overnight. After a week of planning what to bring, where to go and etc, the trip finally took off.
We were headed to Mount Kibalabag at Barangay Kibalabag, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. https://goo.gl/maps/Y57GKPhp1nakZmDP7
We rode a van from Valencia to Malaybalay for 30mins, then another 30mins from Malaybalay to another Barangay (I forgot the name). We were about to cross a river with our van, unfortunately the heavy rain last night made it impossible for the van to cross since the water is knee deep. Our plan B was to rent “habal-habal” or motorcycles to the place where we’ll stay. So one by one we were picked up by motorcycle drivers and they drove us to a magnificent view of Kibalabag. Kibalabag is covered with mountains and it was so surreal that it felt like I was in New Zealand.
Arriving at the place, we then settled our tents and arranged our things. We then also proceeded to preparing our dinner.
After dinner we had small chit chats and decided to sleep early since we’ll be waking up at 5am to start our adventure.
The next morning we prepared corned beef, scrambled eggs and dried fish to complete our pinoy style breakfast.
This is me and my sister preparing for the hiking and the gang having some groupfie in the middle of our hiking.
The following pictures are snapshots of our adventures...
Swam into the famous Kibalabag waterfalls. Such a refreshing experience!
And then we hiked a further more to see the magnificent view of the mountains
Last stop was the BIG ROCK!

PS: Safety protocols were followed prior to this trip, we made sure everyone was in good condition/health. Secured our medical certificated just in case checkpoints need them. And we all wore our mask and sanitize our hands at all times.
