Few days ago, I joined the 11th installment of Takladtamig, a mountaineering activity by a group of local mountaineers in South Cotabato where participants join in a community outreach activity, tree planting and explore various natural attractions found in South Cotabato. It was conducted in Sitio Lambila, Brgy. Lamfugon in Lake Sebu where another must-see natural wonder called Kofnit Cave can be found.

| Kofnit Cave is one of the caves in SOCCSKSARGEN or Region 12 that are being developed into a prime-eco tourism sites. |
From Lake Sebu town proper, we traveled to Brgy. Lamfugon for about 40 minutes on board a dump truck provided by the municipal government. Then mountain trekked for almost an hour before reaching Sitio Lambila, a small community of 6 households of the Ubo tribe. We were warmly welcomed by the community and allowed us to use their long house.
After we took our lunch, a short orientation followed and participants readied for Kofnit Cave. From the Ubo inhabited-community of Sitio Lambila, it took us about 30 minutes before reaching the mouth of Kofnit Cave via a very steep trail. Check out the following photos inside Kofnit Cave.
