Mount Porras and SNP

Mount Porras with elevation more than 800 ft from the ground.

Less than 7 hours traverse trek from Brgy. Imparayan. Rafflesia flower along the trail. 

River crossing, 30  minute steep climb to expect. 

Mt. Porras is the heart of Sibalom Natural Park (SNP). 5,511.47 hectares protected area with 201 species of Flora and 152 species of fauna and still has 672 hectares of old forest. 

One of the few remaining rain forest in the country. 

From San Jose to Brgy. Impairing 1 hour and 30 minutes travel time. 

Walk in the park. You'll enjoy the grandeur.

Consider trekking in a small-medium group to minimize our impact.

Happy trekking!
