A journey into nature begins with a single step. When in Manila, it is easy for the busy atmosphere of the city to overwhelm you. So, when you need a break, simply return to nature and enjoy a hike to leave you refreshed.
Suppose you are planning on venturing down this hiking path. In that case, it is recommended to get an early start for the best possible experience. If you arrive early enough, you will see the monkeys running about as they search for their first meal of the day. When on your hike, do not be surprised when you are accompanied by local dogs known to double as tour guides due to frequent visitors to such paths.
While the hike will likely take you about 3 hours, the journey will be well worth it. At the summit of the walk, you will be able to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Cavite and Batangas. If you are lucky, you will also know to look for the popular Parrots Beak.
While you can certainly quickly summit this mountain in a little over an hour, there is a much better route that will showcase the hidden beauty of this area.
While the new path will take two hours and require the assistance of a local guide, it is well worth the effort and time spent. Next, you will make your way to the Maranat Falls, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing swim to refresh before heading off on the two-hour hike. It is recommended that you make this journey towards the latter part of the day so that you will be able to witness the stunning sunsets over the mountain range.
For an exhilarating journey, take Mt. Batulao's open trails and experience the splendid rolling slopes and the stunning views of the Batangas as you go up and down the various ridges and gullies of the mountain.
If you meet any locals, they will also recommend that the beginners try to take the shorter way to the summit.
Many people will typically stay at a hotel apartment in Manila, such as the Somerset Olympia Makati. Once they are done with the entire hike, they can immediately relax.
This stunning destination is found some 4 hours away from the city of Manila but is well worth the travel time. Once you arrive at the trail, you will be able to enter the hike with the help of the Hugom Environmental Guides Association. This journey will take you across many woodlands and light forests while also giving you a spectacular view of the Laia Coastline.
This is one of the best places for hiking in the Manila region. It offers those who visit the opportunity to hike and set up tents to spend more time enjoying the views around them.
From this summit, you will be able to witness the grandeur of the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Daraitan River, and the other mountains in the vicinity.
