How to get to Tamayong Prayer Mountain

  1. There are flights from Manila that you can take that are headed to Davao.

  2. Find your way to Davao City Center, where you can easily find Bangkerohan. This is where you will find the terminal going to Calinan.

  3. Ride the L300 headed to Calinan.

  4. Asked to be dropped off at the town center of Calinan. There you will find habal-habal that would take you to Tamayong Prayer Mountain. An advice for this one would be, for you to look for a habal-habal that would be willing to wait for you to take you back because it’s rare to find public transportation in the area.

Sometimes all we need is a place away from the vibe and hype of the city, and just one garden that gives us peace and serenity.
