Mt. Talamitam is located at Sitio Bayabasan, Brgy. Aga, Nasugbu. This mountain meadow grassland is also known as little sister of Mt. Batulao, which became popular among the hikers because of its stunning and scenic views. Even though a lot of mountaineers rated Talamitam as one of the beginner friendly mountain, it was still a challenging and exhausting experience.



This was actually our first time to hike and it takes 3 hours to complete the trek up to the summit. As we go along, the weather gets windy and rainy but when we reached the top, it's all worth it and I’m sure that you will appreciate the natural landscape of the mountain. At the summit, you will see the other mountains such as Mt. Apayang, Mt. Gulugod Baboy, Mt. Batulao and Mt. Marami. 

 At the jump off site, you will notice that there are a lot of mini stores out there for you to buy some foods and drinks. Also, you can rent a tent if you want to have an overnight stay.

If you ask me, I spent only 217 pesos for guide and ecological fee! So what are you waiting for? Come and hike in Mt. Talamitam.
