Discover the Majestic Asik-Asik Falls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from Cotabato City, take the Cotabato-Kidapawan Road (also known as the Cotabato-Kidapawan National Highway). Continue on this road for about 30 kilometers until you reach Alamada. Look for signs that indicate Barangay Upper Dado. From the highway, turn onto the road leading to Sitio Dulao. Continue on this road for approximately 10 kilometers. Be prepared for some rough terrain as you approach the falls. There is limited parking available near the entrance, so arrive early to secure a spot.

• Public Transportation

  From Cotabato City, you can take a bus or a van that travels to Alamada. These are available at the bus terminals in Cotabato. Make sure to ask the driver to drop you off at the junction for Barangay Upper Dado. The fare is approximately 50-100 PHP. Once you arrive at the junction, you will need to hire a motorcycle taxi (locally known as 'habal-habal') to take you to Sitio Dulao. The motorcycle ride will cost around 100-150 PHP. From there, you'll need to hike approximately 1 kilometer to reach Asik-Asik Falls, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a bit of a trek.

• Hiking

  After reaching Sitio Dulao, you will need to hike down to the falls. The trail is well-marked but can be steep and rocky, so caution is advised. Ensure you have sufficient water and snacks for the hike. The trek typically takes about 30-45 minutes. Along the way, enjoy the lush greenery and local flora. Once you reach Asik-Asik Falls, take time to enjoy the stunning views and the sound of the cascading water.
