The Dulang-dulang is a 2938 m high mountain in the center of Mindanao Island in the Philippines .
The Dulang-dulang is located in the province of Bukidnon . It is the highest mountain in the Kitanglad Mountains and the second highest mountain in the Philippines. The mountain is a popular destination for mountaineers as it is located in Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park , not far from Mount Kalatungan Range Natural Park .
Since the Dulang-dulang is located in the Talaandig Ancestral Territory in the municipality of Lantapan , the consent of the elders of the Talaandig tribe is required in order to climb it. The mountain is considered a sacred place by the Talaandig and the Kitanglad Mountains are their burial place. It is mandatory to perform a ritual to appease the ancestral spirits before an ascension can begin.
There are two ascent routes, the direct ascent is possible via the Regluar Climb route and takes about 2 days. The second route leads over the 2,899 meter high Kitanglad , on it you need about 3 days for the ascent and descent. On both routes you have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains, in good weather conditions up to Mount Apo in the southeast and to Ragang in the west.
