Anyone who's planning to climb Mt. Manalmon or Mt. Gola will definitely pass through this part of the Madlum Cave. First, From the Jump off you have to cross the Madlum River via "balsa" (bamboo raft) or Monkey bridge.
After crossing the Madlum River, you will see the Station-of-the-cross-like place where you'll start climbing the stairs that leads to the cave.

THE CAVE
The entrance
I advise to use your headlights and flashlight to keep you safe upon walking inside the dark Cave. Also, be also careful upon stepping the marbles rocks because they are really slippery esp. when wet, like during rainy season.
We're left again behind because of taking pictures. Oh, see that amazing dripstone on our right?
This is our group after Mt. Manalmon climb, passing through again the Cave.
Outside end of the Cave
Basically, this Cave is very easy even for beginners. Just open your eyes, lamps and your cameras!
