Mountain Province, Administrative province in northern Luzon, Philippines.

Mountain Province encompasses 2,157 square kilometers of highland territory with valleys, rivers, and natural formations across the Cordillera Central range of Luzon.

The Philippine Commission established Mountain Province in 1908, initially incorporating several sub-provinces that were later divided into separate administrative regions in 1966.

Indigenous groups including Kankanaey, Balangao, and Bontoc maintain their traditions through agricultural practices and community rituals in the mountainous landscape.

Visitors can reach Mountain Province through regular bus services from Manila, with journeys taking approximately 11 hours through mountain roads.

The province contains natural mummy caves and traditional burial sites where ancestors placed coffins along limestone cliffs.
