Mt. Calavite via Sitio Ulasan Trail: Day hike or 2D1N itinerary

From Paluan · Overnight via Sitio Ulasan

Hours to the summit
5.5 hours to the summit

The usual plan from Manila: bus and ferry to Mindoro, van to Paluan, a courtesy registration, then a tricycle to Sitio Ulasan. The trek climbs forest to a viewdeck and on to a basecamp with water before the summit push. The top is about 5.5 hours away, and a one-night stay is typical.
