If things are rough and exhausted in life, there is
a place where you can boost your shattered spirit. You can travel to Kalinga,
an eight hours travel from Baguio City. Take the ride of a bus for six hours
from Baguio City to Bontoc via GL Trans and Bontoc to Kalinga via jeepney or
bus for 3 hours. Upon arrival in the area, you’ll witness the Sleeping
Beauty Mountain that seems a lady is sleeping over the ridges of the
mountain. You can see the full image in Barangay Tulgao or in the Poblacion of Tinglayan, Kalinga.

For some folklore in Kalinga, the
lady was called “Dinayao”. The story varies from different local people. “Dinayao”
is a lady that lost her man during the tribal war. The different versions will
be foretold by the people who had stayed in Kalinga, the story that passed from
one generation to another.
