MT. NATIB
Orani, Bataan
Major jumpoff: Brgy. Tala, Orani
LLA: 14.7119 N; 120.3997 E; 1287 MASL
Days required / Hours to summit: 2 days / 4-5.5 hours
Specs: Major climb, Difficulty 5/9, Trail class 1-3
BACKGROUND
Mt. Natib in Orani, Bataan is another favorite climb in Bataan, along with Tarak Ridge in Mariveles. It is close enough to Manila, but at the same thing offers a challenging overnight climb. Closed for more than a year due to insurgency-related problems, it is fast becoming rediscovered by mountaineers, and in the 2008 climbing season, several successful climbs have been reported.
The climb to Mt. Natib is commenced in Barangay Tala in Orani, which is an hour away via jeepney ride from the Orani Public Market. After registering at the outpost here, the trek is started. One hour away is Pinagbutasan; the rough road that serves as trail is spacious and the environments comprise of open grasslands and light woodlands. Houses may also be seen as the foot of the mountain is populated.
The first landmark encountered is known as 'Pinagbutasan', around one hour away. The name is derived from the wall which has an opening (in Tagalog, 'butas') for hikers to enter. A water source ensues; the trail remains wide and comfortable - albeit somewhat lengthy - until the base camp is reached.
The base camp lies at the foot of the Mt. Natib, and it is also the bifurcation between the upward assault which leads to the summit, and the seldom-used trail that leads to Mt. Natib's other attraction, Pasukulan Falls on the other side of the mountain. The assault, seen as the highlight of the trek, features steep, rocky trails prior to reaching summit. At the top, where hopefully you will arrive before the sunset, the panorama is 360-degrees; there are good views of South China
Sea (W), Bataan province and its mountains: Mt. Samat (NE) and Mt. Mariveles (W).

SPECIAL CONCERNS
Climbing notes. Mt. Natib's status as an open mountain is 'provisional'; it remains in the PinoyMountaineer bulletin on closed mountains. Please check the bulletin - or this page - for updates concerning its status. Military operations against insurgents are said to be the reason why Mt. Natib may be temporarily closed.
Aside from the views and the trek, Mt. Natib is famous for its limatik. For protection and care against leeches, check the Limatik FAQs page.
Transportation. Bataan Transit and Genesis Lines, with terminals facing each other in Doroteo Jose (near LRT station), ply the route. You will drop off at the National Highway and walk your way to the Orani Public Market; and going back, it's the other way around; go to the highway and wait for passing buses to take you back to Manila. Fares cost around P150, one-way.
TRIVIA
Mt. Natib is a protected area, and is one of the mountains featured in the "Our Natural Heritage" coffee table book with George Tapan's photography. Other mountains featured are Mt. Pulag, Northern Sierra Madre, Mt. Isarog, Mt. Kanlaon, Mts. Iglit-Baco, Mt. Dulang-Dulang, and Mt. Apo.
Pasukulan Falls in Mt. Natib is another noteworthy destination; both the summit and the falls can actually be combined in a pseudo-traverse that adds another day to the trip, although a two-day traverse is also possible.

HIKING ADVISORY (05/28/08): Mt. Natib is once again closed, according to the army soldiers stationed there. there is an ongoing military operation, and it will remain thus until further notice.
as per protocol, i couldn't get any contact number from the outpost. nor would they reveal any date for reopening. the current recommendation as of now is to defer climbs to natib.
hi gid. your site is such a gem. keep it up...anyway, WE (i won't mention the group na lang ha) climbed mt. natib last month. after a very long pakiusapan with the soldiers at the checkpoint area, pinayagan din kami umakyat...but contrary to their versions na may military operations, it is very safe to climb natib according to the locals...its just that, for whatsover unknown reason, hindi nila tayo pinapayagan...sobrang ganda sa natib. the views are very rewarding after a punishing assault to the summit...on our second day we were able to explore the forest.dinala kami ng guide sa isang hotsprings.we also spotted some ala cristobal swamps as well as a potential campsite na almost the same size of sunken garden.astig!....hopefully the ban on climbing natib will be lifted soon...but as gid said, dont take risks on climbing natib these days,mahigpit talaga sa checkpoint and masasayang lang ang baon nyo...
thanks for this update. im intriuged with the hotsprings and cristobalesque features you mentioned!
hi sir gid, me ( karl ) & joseph climb mt.natib last oct 31 & nov 1 2008... its a great trip for the two of us celebrating the anniversary of Piknikers Mountaineers.. we're both self contained that day and sobra excited wala kameng sleep from a hard day work sa office alis kame ng early morning.. pagdating sa brgy.tala sarado pa ng 8am dinala kame sa military office para magpa-alam pinaregister lang name namin then kwentuhan tapos pinayagan na kame.. after nun sa jum-off na.. chika sa store nakalimutan ko yun name ni kuya pero dun lang yun sa store at napaka bait..wala din bayad regs.. tapos trek na.. although may trail na dalawa beses kame naligaw kasi naghahanap kame iba trail pero yun mga nauntahan namin pang trail ng nangangaso kaya mali.. so direcho lang sya talaga.. then we reach manong gorio's kubo.. thats where namin nakilala unang limatik then direcho trek.. naligaw kame ulet pero direcho ulet.. till nakita namin yun pinaka malake grass land na dapat daw kaliwa pero nawawala ulet.. till nakita din namin.. so nasa fot na kame ng natib.. trek na ulet.. dahil matagal na sya di naakyat, masukal sya.. parang bawal maglakad ng nakatayo lagi paluhod at gapang while inuupakan na ng limatik yun kamay at braso mo.. too bad for me kasi i cant climb with a shirt on i'll die in heat.. di din kame naka takas sa dami ng tinik.. as in dami talaga.. and yun super lumot na boulder talagang exciting lalo na sa heavy backpacks namin.. so after nun todo pataas ulit na puro gapang sa tinik then summit na.. set up tent then wala na kain mamam na lang.. and walang tigil na pagtanggal sa limatik.. umuulan kasi that time sa trail at summit.. even in our sllep inuupakan pa din kame ng limatik.. till umaga na.. maya-maya bigla may boses.. so alam nmin may umakyat din.. so meron nga lima sila pero wala backpack.. nasa baba daw yun mga kasama nila 33 sila.. nakilala namin na sila din yun nakita namn sa manabu.. kaya sumaya kame... pero baba sila agad.. kame nag intay ng clearing para sa pictures.. naka tsamba nman kaya bumaba na kame.. then nakita namin may lima pa aakyat.. nag best wishes na lang kame.. an saya du sir gid.. sympre may pasalubong ka sakin.. madami ako na pics na flora & fauna.. like birds sa summit na in action sa paglipad, sing-sing pari na orange & di ko lam na pangalan ng flowers at fruits.. of course pede mu sya makita sa friendster namin piknikersmountaineers@yahoo.com.ph and oo nga pala diba wala ka contact dun sa mt.natib? pwede mo try si sir Francis Cagitla 0910-656-05-25 pwede daw sya mag guide sa aakyat.. although di sya nag guide samin ( wala kasi kame pangbayad nun kaya nangapa lang kame ng trail hehehe ) tapos pwede nya rin kunin names ng aakyat para maipaalam nya sa military ahead of time.. hope makatulong to comments ko sa iba balak umakyat sa mt.natib.. until next time sir.. more power & god bless

Hi to all!!! Open na po ang mt. natib Pero sa mga balak umakyat mas mabuti pong kumuha muna kayo ng permit sa military detachment kesa on the spot ang pag climb nyo kase sayang lang po ang effort nyo kapag hindi kayo pinayagan. Hi Karl Nag climb po kame last Oct 31-Nov 1 2008 Isa ako sa member ng grupong nakilala nyo i saw pictures of Vance and toi...Tama po 33 po kami na dumating pero hindi kami natuloy mag summit kase naligaw po kami at gabi na ng makita namin ang right trail..So 3 of us climb summit to survey the area and un fortunately we decided to abort to go up the summit kase masyadong madulas, assault maulan at isa pa po may mga first timer kase kami na kasama so para sa safety nila di na kami tumuloy. Sa base camp grassland kami nag camp pero kahit malakas ang ulan at hangin hindi napigilan ang saya namin hehe...
hi sir levy!!! salamat po sa napakagandang balita at pagpapayo. nagbabalak na kami umakyat. godbless!!!

Hi Sir Gid, si Karl po ulit ito ng PIKNIKERS MOUNTAINEERS. lagay lang po ako ng some facts on LIMATIK ha.. bka po mka help. Thank u po.
( this is PART 1 )
• Leeches are Annelids (or segmented worms) and are closely
related to earthworms.
• There are over 100 different leech species in Australia.
• Leeches have 34 segments, with a powerful sucker at the end.
• Leeches breathe through their body walls.
• Australian leeches vary in size from 7mm up to 200mm when
extended.
• They are commonly found in dimly lit places. Most leeches live in
freshwater but some live on land, in damp areas of tropical
rainforests.
• In Australia’s tropical rainforests the most common leech is the
land-dwelling jawed leech (Gnatbobdellida libbata).
• Leeches are hermaphrodites. Each leech has both male and
female sex organs. Leeches die after they have reproduced once
or twice.
• Leeches are an important part of forest and stream ecosystems
because they act as both predators and prey in the life cycle of
many animals.
• Leeches are carnivorous. Some prey on invertebrates. They feed
on insect larvae, snails, crustaceans and other worms. Their
digestive enzymes process their food within a few days.
• Other leeches feed on the blood of vertebrates such as
amphibians, birds, reptiles, fish and mammals - including humans!
Animals that feed on blood are called sanguivorous. Leeches
need symbiotic bacteria to help digest their blood meals which can
take weeks or even months.
• Leech bodies are covered with receptors so they can detect warmblooded
animals by sight, smell, vibrations and temperature.
• They can also sense carbon dioxide in the air. This indicates there
is a breathing animal nearby, which could be their next prey!
• In wet weather the leech waits in foliage or on the forest floor to
attach itself to a passing warm-blooded animal. It will wave its head
and body around, looking for signals that food is nearby.
• Birds, fish and frogs get their revenge on these bloodsuckers by
feasting on them. (Pittas feed leeches to their chicks.) Other
predators of leeches are turtles, and the larvae of damselflies and
dragonflies.
• Rainforest bushwalkers are a very convenient food source
because they brush against low foliage or sit on damp logs or rocks.
A waiting leech can easily hitch a ride and grab a snack. When
leeches are aware of a meal nearby, they climb the victim’s legs
and attach themselves to the first area of bare flesh.
• Leeches use suckers on each end of its body to loop swiftly in
pursuit of its host. Once the leech is on the host it looks for a
shadowy, protected spot. It holds on tightly with the larger sucker at
its mouth, then cuts a hole in the host with its sharp teeth.
• The leech releases an anaesthetic in its saliva which numbs the
skin and keeps the host from knowing it is sucking their blood.
• Leeches also release an anti-coagulant called hirudin which stops
blood from clotting and keeps it flowing for as long as the leech is
feeding. This anti-coagulant also stops the victim’s blood from
clotting in the gut of the leech and giving them digestive problems.
• Leeches can consume several times their own weight in just one
bloody meal. It can be up to five times heavier than it was at the
beginning of its meal.
• When they are full of blood they drop off and find a dark spot to rest
and digest their meal.

Hi Sir Gid, si Karl po ulit ito ng PIKNIKERS MOUNTAINEERS. lagay lang po ako ng some facts on LIMATIK ha.. bka po mka help. Thank u po.
( this is PART 2 )
• After a good feed, a leech can survive several months to a year
before feeding again.
• It is difficult to outwit leeches. To keep leeches from biting you,
avoid brushing against low vegetation in damp or wet places.
• Cover your socks and shoes with eucalyptus oil or soap. The
lather repels leeches. You can also wear pantyhose on the outside
of socks and long pants to keep leeches off your legs.
• If you apply insect repellent to your socks and shoes, keep clear of
creeks so you don’t pollute the water.
• To detach a leech, carefully expose the leech to heat such as a
lighted cigarette or a flame or try sprinking it with salt, tea tree oil,
eucalyptus oil, alcohol or insect repellent. Don’t pull leeches off.
This can tear the skin which may then become infected.
• If you just want to move the leech on, slide a fingernail under the
biting end. (The hirudin might cause the bite to bleed for some
time, and the bites are often itchy.)
Leeches can be dangerous if they fasten themselves to an eyeball.
The only safe thing to do is wait for 15-40 minutes until the leech
detaches itself and drops off. Don’t pull the leech off and don’t apply
salt or you may damage your eye.
• People use leeches in medicine. They are important source of
anti-coagulants to prevent blood clots from forming in patients.
(Blood clots cause strokes.) Leeches produce vasodilators.
Leeches are used in plastic surgery to prevent bruising and in reattaching
amputated limbs.

Kahit na may medicinal value pa yan. Ayokong mgapakagat sa limatik. Alam nyo ba kung bakit nawawala yung guhit sa likot nung linta pag nabubusog. Indicator yun ibig sabihin full tank na!!! :D
Hi sir gid,
Eto nap o yun promised ko NEW CONTACT sa Mt.Natib he is
Mr.Louie Areola 0908-298-90-94 & 0921-687-67-35
He is the head of the Baranggay Defense System (BDS)
And sya din po ang in-charge for mountaineers. He can also help for transportation needs (if needed) minimum of P700 and guides (if needed) P500-700 we met a local there who is working as a guide he’s name is Mr.Andy Gadel the son of the owner of the KUBO in the water source. He nice and friendly as well. He is also endorsed by sir louie. ( Guides can take u to 3 hot spring spots and spectacular water falls) just tell him na nirefer kayo ni karl ng piknikers mountaineers para maka discount. you can also order a hearty meal to sir louie before u climb Special BULALO or LOMI. Tingin ko if yun iba aakyat dun na ayaw sa limatik pag nagka camp, pede sila mag dayhike then sa jump off (just ask sir louie) may super flat dun mga 10min trek at may magandang river na which is pag aari nila sir louie. Sinibukan din namin try kung ilan oras sya pede day hike. Kaya sya ng 7-8 hours. Kasama na kain, chikahan, tambay, piktyuran at pagaalis ng limatik hehehe by the way its tough nun bumalik kami. Yun una akyat naming sa natin is nahirapan kami sa sukal dahil din a sya inaakyat that time and our heavy load. Sa summit kaming dalawa nag camp nun tolerable pa limatik. But this time nag iba sya, with STORM ONDOY yun trail is lahat nag mukang ilog at water falls pa summit. Pero mas madali na kasi din na gaano masukal unlike dati na puro gapang. Dun kami nag camp sa water source kaya lang nun gabi an taas na ng tubig sa river and lots of rolling rocks na dala ng agos parang lumilindol yun tunog nya. Most of the rocks nun nakita namin is sinlaki ng mga anim na big buko pinag dikit-dikit. And the limatiks are like mindorong limatik, kakagat agad at u can feel the bite even maliit na limatik lang sya. And medyo yun baha sa trail is my dalang jebaks ng baka at kabayo hehe. Pero ganun pa man, masaya pa din ang training climb namin at the same time birthday climb ko hehehe. Buti na nga lang sir di ka sumabay samin kasi bigla bumagyo di ka makaka abot sa manila ng 7pm para sa hospital duties mo. Nagsara daw ang nlex that time. Thanks ulet sir. Nga pala for our friends na gusto makita yun pics duon with Storm Ondoy they can chek sa piknikers.multiply.com yun friedster namin din a gaanu na a update eh meron din sa web site namin www.piknikers.com thank you po – KARL of PIKNIKERS MOUNTAINEERS

Hi,I have tried calling the phone number you posted on the blog and unfortunately It cannot be reach. We are planning to climb Mt.Natib next week Dec11-12.
Hopefully some of you guys can join us. we are looking forward on meeting our fellow mountaineers.
Thank You.
Tele-09178390614
tele- painfo naman ng updates if ever matuloy kayo this 11-12. akyat kami ng 19-20 so it would really be helpful if you could give us some details regarding recent activities at mt. natib. thanks.
Sure. I will definitely post informations here for you. Hope someone can also give us a phone number for a person in charge with the mountain.
Kindly, Invite din po kami mam/sir kapag may mga climbs po kayo. Thank you.
Sure tele. Heard rumors na meron na namang encounters between NPA and mga sundalo. hope to hear from you soon.
Hi! mga sir/mam info naman kung safe umakyat sa NATIB, thanks
good day sir/mam,
just reviewed all the notes re- natib, sa mga umakyat nitong december meron ba tayong updates sa contact kasi sabi dito, cannot be reached yung number na naka post.. sa mga gusto umakyat ng natib, me and my group's planning to climb natib this mid january.. any info's highly appreciated..
good day sir/mam
sa maga umakyat po recently lang info naman po kung safe umakyat sa natib at kung may mga contact person/number po at info na pwedeng i share, plano po kasi namin umakyat this Dec 26, thanks
hello. i climbed natib i think in august this year. about the reports on recent encounters between military and insurgents, i dont think something like that happened recently. or at least thats what denr in the area told me. the military conducts operation in the area (patrolling) after all they have a detachment there. but the pasu told me that he hasnt heard of any encounter at all.
my contact numbers are also unreachable. best thing to do is to just pass by the barangay hall and register (leave list of climbers with them). we didnt drop by the military detachmenbt because the bgy officials told us that there is no need to do so. but its important to see the bgy officials first because if you dont, they will advise the military and the military could stop you from climbing. that is the secret to being able to climb natib. go to the bgy first. if you need to, then drop by the military detachment which is on the way to the jump-off.
~Yanma
thanks for the tip yanma..

hello kitty mountaineers
Sarap dito. Galing kami dito last Saturday Jan 9-10. Bait mga guide. Daming limatik sa daan. Ung mga kasama ko nakagat pero surprisingly, hindi ako kinagat. Todo anti limatik ung damit nila pero ako naka short lang tapos ako pa ung hindi nakagat. Bait ung mga militar pero dapat nyo parin kausapin ng maayos para walang aberya.

Hi Gid,
Please take note of minor errors on last paragraph. Both Mt. Samat and Mt. Mariveles are due south of Mt. Natib, as opposed to (NE) and (W) indicated respectively.
More power!
any climb here in mt. natib on febuary?. pde smama?. pls do txt me, 09275281396. marco
slamat!
I just want to shar our experience with a gudie from Mt. Natib.The mountain was indeed challenging and awsome my 7 year old nephew really enjoyed the assaults on a night trek but it is kind of disapointing that even with the positive feedback about the guides we have encountered a guide that had taken advantage of us he told us that the trail to the summit is not establish and we are most likely to get lost he told us that the guide fee is 300 all the way up to the summit. Nung andun na kami sa kubo sa may water source ang sabi nya wala na daw tubig dun kasi marumi and he also told us na meron daw sa papuntang summit nauna na agad sya paakyat sumunod na yung iba samin dahil ako yung sweeper and in doubt sa sinasabi nung guide tinignan namin maigi yung lugar ang may nakita kaming water source since our water bottles are on the guides horse kinakilangan namin syang habulin paakyat ang kaso para syang nagmamadalina iniwan nya ang group namin even our trail leader was catching up with him ni hindi sya maabutan sa trail para rin kaming nag trail ng mag-isa namin. I received a text message from a good friend who just climb mt.natib and informed us where we can find the water source sa kubo and verified na last water source na yung sa kubo. Unfortunately pinaspasan ata nung guide kasi hinintay nya nalng kami sa grassland sa may trail pa-assault which really piss me off because he was supposed to guide and be with us and what made it even worse was siningil nya kami 500 plus hindi na daw nya kami ihahatid sa summit dahil may duty pa daw sya nakiusap kami na baka pwedeng samahan nya kaming pumunta ng water source pabalik sa grassland to save time because we had to go back.The guide agreed that after filling our water bottles at the water source it will be carried on his horse back to the grassland pero ang nangyari sumakay sya ng kabayo nya pababa at iniwan nya nalang sa kubo ung mga water bottles namin which is really disappointing..plus some of our stuff our missing I lost my msr fuel bottle which is strap on the backpack carried by his horse.
We lost more than 1 hour of time dahil lang sa maling information na binigay nya about sa water source bukod pa dun sinabi nay pa smain na hindi namin maakyat ugn summit ng walang rope kaya wag nalng kami tumuloy sa taas syempre hindi kami pumayag na ganun ang mangyari so we proceeded without him kahit na inabot na kami ng gabi the trail was indeed difficult especialy at night because our vision is very limited but thanks to out great team work we were all able to reach the summit safely.
We are not sure if his name is rufino a white hair skinny old man.
So for you guys outhere planning to climb natib please take extra pre-caution on choosing or getting a guide make sure na malinaw ang usapan na ihahatid tlaga kayo sa summit kasi baka magaya kayo samin na bigla nalng nilayasan ng guide.
^ Mukhang kilala ko 'to.. Hehehe. Tele kaw ba yan? Nice meeting you guys. Sayang lang at di tayo nag-abot sa summit. :) May next time pa naman. At tsaka, si Mang Rufino nga yata yun. Nastitch namin yung mga kwento niyo nung nameet namin sya. At confirmed ang lolo mo. Haha. Rufino Syndrome ito. Oh well. Ganun talaga ang buhay. May mga manggagantso. :) - Yse
^ ako to bj tele, rufino nga pangalan niya.. medyo hindi nga talaga malinaw ang usapan niyo dahil yung kwento niya samin nung nasa shed na kami sa jumpoff eh hanggang sa assault point lang daw niya kayo ihahatid talaga.. hehe, mukha ngang drawing eh kasi tinanong ko sabi ko manong kabisado mo ba tong bundok na to, sabi niya oo daw.. tinanong ko kung may water falls ba dito sabi niya oo daw at malamig daw ang tubig dun.. sabi ko saan ang daan eh ang sabi lang eh medyo malayo ng konti.. hahahahaha!! barbero!! sayang di tayo nagkasama, next month keep in touch tayo para matuloy na ang ultimate climb natin..
Tumpak..hindi tlaga nya kabisado yung bundok kasi hidni nya alam kung nasaan yung water sources samantalang nasa likod lang ng kubo haay..
Anyway successful and enjoy naman yung climb so kahit medyo may konting aberya okay lang hindi nalng tlaga siguro maiiwasan ng mga moutaineer yugn mga opportunista kasi akala nila lahat mapagkakakitaan nila...
Enjoy your climb guys...one of the best mountain ang Mt. Natib
Sige bj see you next climb hopefuly magkakasama ang group natin...
This coming April or May aakyat kami ng Mt. Pulag Akiki-Ambangeg..sana makasa kayo

TON of PIKNIKERS MOUNTAINEERS
Tip ko lang sa mga magpapaguide. Set nyo na ung price before pa magstart ang trek pero sabihin nyo na magbabayad kayo after ng climb pagbalik sa jumpoff. Never kayo magbayad before ng climb to avoid ung incident na iiwanan kayo dahil nakuha na nila un pera. Kung more than 5 or 7 ang grupo, hire at least 2 guides para ung isang guide, kasabay ng sweeper. Kung magoovernight kayu, ask your guides if they have their own food and tent, kawawa naman kung matutulog sila sa malamig na campsite habang gutom na gutom. Ung mga gamit na pinapabuhat natin, make sure na walang valuables, kung hindi maiiwasan cguraduhin nyo na kasabay nyo ung porter and wag na wag nyo iiwanan or papaunahin sa trail. Avoid narin natin ipabuhat sa mga guides ung basura pag pababa ng bundok kasi naexperience namin dito na tinapon nung guide ung basura sa trail nung hindi kami nakatingin. The last thing na masusuggest ko is maging mabait tayo sa guides as much as possible lalo na kung local sila sa area, mahirap na kung mapapaaway tayo sa hindi natin teritoryo.

Sir.mam. ask lang po, magkano po ang usually na bayad sa guide sa natib if magoovernyt?. salamt po!
sir rob,
^ hindi naman necessarily kailangang mag guide dito sa natib, kung buo ang loob mo na akyatin to, just be ready sa kung ano mang mangyari.. ang natatandaan ko sabi nung isang tropa eh 400 ang ibinayad nila sa guide pero 1 way lang yun at iniwan pa sila, kaya sa grupo ko having the experience of other climbs, hindi ako kumuha ng guide.. plus madali lang ang trail sa natib compared to other trails.. very established ang trail, konting by-forcation pero may trail sign naman kung wrong way..
happy climbing,
saan po ba mag reregistered pag akyat. sa mga kwento po ninyo na nabasa ko mukang hindi naman po nag bago ang mga sign at trail yung water source ay sa likod parin ng kubo. i been there for almost 4x pero mahirap pong magyabang matagal narin po yung last na akyat ko kaya hindi rin po ako ganun ka sigurado. to sir TON ilan po ang kayang iskay ng tricle galing palengke. diba po may byahe naman ng jeep dun daily. maraming salamat sa info.
makakatulong po ang mga info nyo sa aming pag akyat sa Feb 20-21. wala naman pong magagalit kung hindi kami kukuha ng guide. mga sir at mam na naka balik na sa natib, ask ko lang po kung andun parin po ba ang kubo ni tatay goryo sa may water source?
maraming salamat po more power. kita kits nalang po kung sakaling may makasabay.
Arnel of (timog lahi)
sa lahat po ng gustong sumabay sa climb open po kami kasi unti lang din kami less than 10 lang po.

-pulahan
fresh from natib feb 20-21 climb. bago po ang lahat nakikiusap po ako sa lahat ng nag babalita na patay na si tatay Goryo ay itigil nyo po ang maling pamamalita. buhay na buhay pa po si tatay Goryo pinuntahan ko po si tatay sa kanilang bahay upang kamustahin at alamin ang kanyang kalagayan. si tatay goryo po ang may ari ng kubo sa water source at sila rin po ang bumutas ng daan paakyat ng natib kaya hindi po sila ibang tao para saatin at sa lahat ng moutaineers. inform ko lang po lahat ng gustong umakyat ng natib. from cubao by bataan bus 178 pesos pababa kayo ng palengke ng orani lakarin nyo nalang po papuntang palaenke. makaka bili po kayo dun ng mga kakailanganin nyo sa bundok. ang lokal rate po nila sa tricle ay 50/head gang 4 person lang, doon po kayo sumakay sa pilahan ng byaheng tala. kasi marami pong kokontrata sa inyong mga tricle driver at prepresyohan kayo ng mahal. ok na po ang 250 kung apat kayo kasi mabigat naman ang mga bag natin. sa barangay hall po kayo mag reregistered ihihinto kayo ng tricle driver dun. pag may nag prisinta sainyo n mag guide sabihin nyo nalang na may kausap na po kayo kasi minsan yung mga tanod ang nag priprisinta gaya ng nangyari sa mga kasamahan natin iniwan sila pag kakuha ng bayad kasi hindi rin naman sila ganun kasanay sa bundok natib. kung gusto nyo ng guide at porter hanapin nyo po sina kuya Andres Gadil(ande)o si kuya Fred Gadil (kambal) mga anak po sila ni tatay Goryo. pwede rin po kayaong mag pa guide sa falls at sa hotspring dipende po yun sa pag uusap nyo. reg rate po nila ay 600-700 hundred dipende po sa dami ng i gaguide may kabayo po sya na mag dadala ng bag. makakasama nyo na po sya sa summit hangang sa pag baba. 7-10 ang kasyang tent sa itaas dipede sa laki ng mga tent sinunog at nilinis na po ni kuya ande ang mga kugoon sa itaas upang maging maayos ang camp site. tip ko lang po sa mag aakyat yung maliit na bag nalang po ang ating gamitin para hindi sumabit sa mga halaman sa pag asault ng natib. pinapakiusap din po nila na huwag po nating pipiin ang mga bottle containers natin. pwede pong iwan sa kubo ang mga emty bottle para magamit din po ng ibang mga moutaineers sa pag iigib ng tubig.
maligaya at ligtas na pag akyat po sa inyong lahat. pag my tanong po kayo pwede nyo po akong itxt sa # na. 09166148535 (arnel)

sir arnel..dba kakaakyat nio plng? mrami pa bang limatik dis days dun?
ty...
hi guys, nag dayhike kame dito sa natib ni sir ton at sir gideon last month tatlo lang kame, binigay ko yun kopya ng reklamo kay sir louie regarding sa nagsamantalang guide para magawan ng aksyon, nag remind din mga sundalo na magpaalam pa din sa kanila kahit na inform na si sir louie. sa wala pa idea sa trail pede nyo chek sa piknikers.multiply.com pede nyo din kame add piknikersmountaineers@yahoo.com.ph same address yan sa friendster at facebook..
TO SIR BJ-SALONGA: agree ako syo na kung gusto mo akyatin wag ka mag guide para ramdam mo inakyat mo sya ng pagsisikap.. pero just always extra care tayo.. kasi nun una ko nag natib dalawa lang kame at wala kami guide.. yun nga lang naka pitong ligaw kame.. pero after namin makaakyat mas nadama namin pagiging magkaibigan namin ng kasama ko.. thats 2 years ago na.. thank you and more power sa lahat..
sir tanong lang? mt.natib is a natural park.it means it is a protected area.how come na naisyuhan ng ecc or environmental clearance certificate ng denr ang breeding farm ng mga manok sa mt.natib.. im sure sakop pa yun ng mt.natib..kahit may bakod.
Been there @ Mt. Natib last Feb. 27-28, ang ganda. Sulit ang napakahaba at mainit na lakaran. Solve din kami sa tarik ng assault. Dami namin 4 groups kami 47 pax.Swerte namin at nauna kami nakapili kami ng medyo flat na pwesto kasi kahit malapad ang camp site, bukol bukol naman ang mga damo kaya ang hirap maghanap ng flat area. Tips lang sa mga aakyat ng natib this summer, agahan nyo para di kayo mahirapan sa sobrang init ng panahon ngayon. Sayang nga lang at wala kaming nakita na limatik.. takot pa naman ako sa dugo..hehehehe

hello fellow mountaineers! just got back from mt. natib,grabe astig!!! sulit lahat ng pagod mo,very exciting ng challenging ang trails!, astig tlaga!, no. 2 na xa sa favorite mountains ko(1st kc ang pulag) hehehe!!! bait pa ng mga locals dun...
Hello fellow trekkers
Our group just climb mt. natib..sobrang lamig sa taas at night..pero super ganda talaga..challenging ang trail paakyat sa summit...One of the best mountain!!!...Thanks kay kuya willy at kuya manny as our guides...
- CCMC group -
hi everyone! i went up mt natib last week with ccmc... ayan, after 3 days nakakalakad na ako ulit ng derecho! we thought mainit sa trail, so we decided to climb ng madaling araw. panalo! malamig ang hangin, kaya kahit tuloy tuloy paakyat ay ok lang. we were at the summit by 10am. yun lang by 11am till about 3 or 4pm super init ng sikat ng araw. buti may dala kaming mga extra tarp/groundsheet, we used those as shelter.
by 4pm nagsisimula nang lumamig, and by 7pm ay lumalakas na ang malamig na hangin! super lamig sa gabi at ang lakas ng hangin talaga, so don't forget to bring your jackets/windbreakers!
para sa nagbabalak umakyat ng natib, you can contact manny to be your guide (asawa ni grace, yung pamangkin ni kuya ande) at 09103548604. kung kukunin nyo sila as guide, bring an extra tent for them and include them na lang din sa meals. para sa transpo naman from orani to tala, instead of paying P250/tricycle for 4 people, you can hire a jeep and pay P50/person. you can contact allan (driver) at 09205198233.
hi everyone! i was at mt natib with ccmc just last weekend. ayan after 3 days nakakalakad na ako ulit ng derecho hehehe!
salamat kay arnel of timog lahi for the contact numbers, i got in touch with grace. ulitin ko lang dito ang number: 09103548604. this number is being shared by grace and her husband manny, yung nag-guide sa amin. kung malaki ang group nyo, instead of paying P250/tricycle for 4 persons, pwede kayo mag-hire ng jeep para dalhin kayo from orani to tala. you can contact allan (driver) at 09205198233. ang rate nya ay P50/head.
we decided to climb ng madaling araw, kasi ine-expect namin na mainit sa trail during the day. ayos naman, kasi malamig sa umaga kaya kahit tuloy tuloy paakyat ay ok lang. we got to the summit by 10am. yun nga lang, super init around 11am till about 3 or 4pm. buti may extra tarp/groundsheet kami so we used that as shelter, tutal mahangin naman. pag dating ng mga 6pm ay malamig at mahangin sa summit, so don't forget your jackets/windbreakers!
also, kung magpapa-guide kayo, bring an extra tent for the guides and include them na lang din sa inyong meals.
yun lang... i think everything else has been covered by the previous posts.
inakyat namin ang mt. Natib kanina mejo bitin lang kami, from Barangay Tala to Mt. natib peak start kami ng 6am nakarating kami sa peak ng Mt. Natib ng 730. tapos nagstay lang kami ng 30 mins dun at bumaba na kami, nakabalik kami dun sa brg. Tala ng 920am the same day din, ang ganda ng view sa taas, pero ung guide namin naiwan di nakasabay sa amin hehehe.
hahaha sana nag try kayo wala guide sir anonymous baka mas mabilis kayo pag walang guide! usualy yun mga umaakyat dyan walang guide eh.. by the way, congratulations po!
mang rufino not advisable guide to mt. natib
open na ba ulit? kala namin may NPA issue pa..
dapat dito kami aakyat.. lumipat nalang kami sa Tarak ridge.

@pia,no idea on nearby resort though,likewise bandang bagac pa ang resort (at least 2hrs travel from natib). Otherwise,with your long IT sked you can explore the falls & hotspring nearby basecamp of Natib. Goodluck!LNT
@unbreakable, try to contact bds head (louie)number above before planning to climb to secure your entry. But definitely open siya basta walang operation sila army,but i heard they will resume 2nd week of June :(
Kung dayhike klng,hindi sila mahigpit din. Goodluck!LNT

nung una akala ko may halong yabang at biro yung grupo na inakyat ng 1.5 hrs ang natib. pero nag ka mali pala ako tuto pala at kaya. kasi umakyat ako last month ng mag isa dahil hinabol ko ang mga ka grupo ko. nakuha ko lang ng 2 hrs and 10 min yun nag lang may dala akong napaka bigat na bag kasi puro tubig ang laman. any way bina bati ko po yun grupo na naka akyat ng 1.5 hrs ang galing nyo po. good luck po sa grupo nyo.

matutulungan po kayo nila if you want guide or question about natib. salamat po ingat sa pag akyat. balik po ako dyan ng june 19 with my group.
Arnel of (timog lahi)
sir arnel, pa update kung matutuloy kayo ng june 19. kung oopen ang natib. thanks.
hi, everyone,
open po ang natib but it is still best to contact the people there first. Minsan kasi biglang sinasara due to military operations. while we were there, our guide showed us some evidence that the "outlaws" just left the area. To be safe, Kindly text kuya Mhanny (our main contact in Natib) via 0909-1238396. He will be able to connect you to the military for permits. For jeeps from new Orani Market to the jump-off (going through the military and baranggay for registration), you may contact allan at 0920-5198233. For guides, we have our very responsible guide, Fred Gadil, who you guys can contact at 0909-1246221.
It was raining when we climbed last weekend so the 'limatiks' were having a field day! i have never seen so many in one area. some of us were bleeding from the most unlikely of places because of these blood suckers. The climb was really difficult and scary, at times. But the view and the people we were with made everything worth it! I am a self-professed weakling and i made it to the top (with a lot of help. Despite the difficulties, all 19 of us got to the peak where. We raised our beautiful Philippine flag and sang our national anthem. Some were even wearing native costumes. :) It was truly a very memorable climb.
For those who would like to summit this peak, make sure to bring a rope or a whole lot of courage. :)
