Mount Talinis Trekkers' Shindig

Entry point: Brgy. Bediao, Dauin
Exit point: Brgy. Apolong, Valencia City
LLA: 1903 MASL

I consider Mt Talinis as one of the most beautiful mountains in the Philippines. The vegetations are lush and abundant and the trail is not hard. It is a mountain ideal for a no hassle climb. Mt Talinis is the second highest mountain in Negros, next only to the lofty Kanlaon.
