Bakngeb River Cave in Cotabato

The river water is so cold like it came from the ref. The current is strong especially during the rainy season and some parts are deep though so be careful when you swim because it can really take you.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world indeed, its the only thing that ever has.Keep close to Natures heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

Sort of peaceful place, calm, and contain cold fresh water. Enjoyment is a life kumbaga, so try to visit this terrific and wonderful place of Tboli, South Cotabato (skl; dito pa ako nakakiha ng clay for my project).

Katugnaw gajud sa tubig..pramess

Rated it 3 stars so far because the weather didnt cooperate so well, ending up in muddy river. Might change this to higher one if i ever try it on a good weather.

Enjoyed hanging out here along with friends and local. People are kind here. Province feel of the place.

No safety inside the caves

need more improvement but good place to go

💕

Perfect summer getaway!

Nice place

Technically not a cave now, but nature has carved it beautifully. The scene was magical looking up from the river towards the sky on what was used to be the cave roof.

Refreshing place💕🌴

Nice place!

Rough DiamondThe TravelThe way to and from Bakngeb from Surallah is a bit of a challenge. There are rough steep roads so dont bring your car here. Rent a motorbike or get a habal-habal in Tiboli town.The River CaveThe cave and the river running through it is a wonder of nature, it is amazing. However, the price for the rafting ride of PhP100 (USD2per person may be a stretch as it lasts about 10 minutes and take you maybe 30 to 50 meters only into the cave as the walls get narrower inside and the raft cant fit to get you further in. After an hour and a half of a rough travel from Surallah, the very short cave excursion might be a let down.The River RaftingAside from the cave, river rafting is offered for PhP150 (USD3per person which will take you through waist deep rocky shallows for about 15 minutes downstream.The CommunityThe place is managed by the community and you can see from the moment you arrive and with the guides that accompany you inside the cave and in the river rafting that they believe that they are offering you the best of their place and the best of their services. I really appreciate our river rafting drivers who, even though not as trained as your regular rafting guides, did their very very very best to navigate. Believe me, i can see from their worried and sweaty faces that they are are doing their best.The CultureIndigenous meals are offered in the place. Although a bit on the opposite of the cheap side, we paid PhP350 (USD7for a not so big native chicken cooked inside a bamboo, which was great in a novel kind of way. We were served the meal inside an indigenous long house where we sat on the floor and used indigenous utensils made of wood. All of these were great.Overall.Although rough on the edges, the experience would be great if you appreciate culture and advocate support for community based local tourism. Come and see the best of our Tiboli brothers and sisters and see how they are developing their tourism industry.

Awesome

Nature lovers paradise!

Experienced wise, we did not continue the caving coz it was a bit rainy and the guides did not want us to continue all in all the experience was superb!

Help promote tourism in South Cotabato. Contrary to public conception, this province is safe and very beautiful. Bakngeb River Cave rafting is just one of the adventures available.Must try here: tifas (traditional wine), onuk nlut (chicken cooked in bamboo)

This bakngeb is so very amazing and nice cave too.The water is very cold and the cave is so very beautiful.
