Sultan Peak
This trekking expedition in Palawan encompasses the traversing of the Batang-Batang River, which poses considerable challenges, particularly during the rainy season when the river's flow intensifies and its waters surge. Ascending this Palawan hiking destination can indeed be demanding, but the panoramic vistas from the summit are immensely rewarding. Notably, near the campsite, there exists a lofty waterfall known as Sultan Falls, offering a spectacular sight. Additionally, you can also catch a glimpse of Victoria Peak, another notable mountain located within the Municipality of Narra.

Located in Narra, Palawan, and often considered the sister mountain of Mt. Victoria, the second-highest mountain in the province, Sultan Peak is an iconic major hike that promises challenging river crossings, steep ascents, and breathtaking views.
Usually, the next target for those who have done the Mt. Victoria hike and are still looking for a similar challenge, Sultan Peak offers fewer but wider river crossings and more demanding ascents laden with fallen tree trunks as hurdles.
Day 1
While the summit isn’t as majestic as the Teeth at Mt. Victoria, the view of Atong Lake is quite the consolation. For those daring enough and with the requisite skill, the perilous descent serving as the traverse to the aforementioned lake may be in the cards. However, because of the difficulty and risks involved with this particular section, the local guide often recommends an alternative route.
Upon a grueling ascent seemingly designed to test not only one’s skills but also their luck, Atong Lake (aka Atabay Lake according to the locals) would be the picturesque campsite for Day 2.
The third day, though not as difficult as the previous ones, is not to be taken lightly. With the fatigue of the days prior likely to take its toll, the long downhill section, taken with caution, would be rewarded by a lovely pool of water at the start of that day's river portion; its turquoise water was always a sight to behold even by this area’s standards.
