Kalinga, Administrative province in northern Luzon, Philippines.
The Kalinga province spans 3,201 square kilometers of mountains, valleys, and rivers in the Cordillera Administrative Region of northern Philippines.
The province gained independence from the Mountain Province in 1966 and later separated from Kalinga-Apayao in 1995 to form its own administrative division.
The Butbut tribe maintains traditional practices, including the art of hand-tapped tattoos, which symbolize social status and personal achievements within their community.
Visitors reach Kalinga through regular bus services from Manila to Tabuk City, with local transportation options connecting to different municipalities.
The Chico River system flows through Kalinga, providing water for the extensive rice terraces that cover the mountainous terrain.
