Layong Bilog River
A highlight of the climb is the Talamitam River, also
known as La Yong

spot for hikers to cool off and refresh after their trek. It is shallow
enough to wade through, and many hikers enjoy taking a dip in its cool
waters. The river also serves as a natural boundary between the
mountain and the surrounding lowlands, providing a vital water source
for the local community. It is home to various aquatic life and, while not
a major tourist attraction, is an essential part of the natural landscape of
Mount Talamitam, enhancing the overall hiking experience.

held not just the end of the path, but
