Pitcher plants are also wildly abundant at the peak where it has been tagged as a biodiversity hiking site with 4/9 level of difficulty reaching 9.5 kilometers backtrail.  With share love for nature and mountain spree, Mt. Ahit is a good choice for breather climb as you set your trip to upland Lobo.
