Viable / doable ba ang magtwin hike kupapey + fato ng morning, then afternoon babyahe from bontoc papuntang buscalan? Then overnight na sa buscalan ?
And accessible ba ang byahe pa baguio galing buscalan? Then uwi pa manila?
Thank you. Planning DIY with friends
Helloo, I am planning to do Mt. Arayat as my first major hike this July or August. Pang 9th hike ko na siya if ever. Puro minor hikes lang ako ever since and I feel like sa dami ng hikes ko it’s time na magtry ng major hike. And so far kay Arayat talaga ako interested since hindi siya yung hike puro lakad na matagal lang and I want something na may challenge :D
Minor hikes I did so far were Pinatubo, Batulao, Mariglem, Mt. 387 traverse, Ulap, Sembrano, Daraitan, and Kayapa Quadpeak.
What preparations can I do for this specific mountain? Kakastart ko lang ng gym 2 months ago so more of yun ang prep ko sa mga hike lately. May specific workout/prep ba ako sa gym na pwede gawin for this hike?
What to pack/bring? What is it like to hike Aryat ng rainy season? And anong orga ang marerecommend niyo for Mt. Arayat :))
Tiger is hands down one of the cutest, smartest, and most amazing trail companion I’ve ever met
He guides hikers through the mountains like it’s second nature and somehow makes every hike even more memorable. He was also with another sweet female dog that I randomly started calling girly girl (idk her name). She stayed with us together with Tiger throughout the hike, and the two of them made such an adorable duo
If you’ve hiked in Kayapa before, I’m sure you have your own Tiger story too. These two definitely deserve all the love and appreciation for making every adventure a little more special 🐕
Just finished Mt. Sembrano as my third mountain. My first was Mt. Ulap, then Mt. Makiling, and now this.
I really enjoyed this hike. Ang ganda ng scenery all throughout the trail, and the view from the summit made the climb worth it. I found the final ascent a bit challenging, so I’m not sure I’d recommend it for absolute beginners, but overall it was a really rewarding hike.
I’m already thinking about my next mountain. I do want to try a major hike eventually, but I think I still need more training before taking that on. Right now, I’m considering Mt. Fato and Mt. Kupapey next. The views and the cooler climate there look amazing.
Any recommendations for mountains to do before attempting a major hike?
Hi! I want to transition to major hikes, recent ko naakyat is Tarak. I wanna know anong mga major hikes pwede isunod and also if you could provide yung gradual progression major mountains na pwede akyatin?
I just started last year sa minor hikes, really enjoyed Daraitan and Tarak recently kahit umuulan lol and less crowded din kasi. Ayoko naman biglain agad kaya I want to know ano magandang pagkakasunod ng akyat?
TYIA!
I want to know para makapili ako ng bundok para sa mga kasamahan kong first-time hiker and I am concerned na baka kapag maraming limatik ‘yung mapili ko eh ma-discourage na sila mga future hikes namin.
⛰️ Mt. 387 — tanda ko na hindi ‘to open trail so I am thinking na mas prevalent ‘yung limatik.
⛰️ Mt. Kapigpiglatan or ⛰️ Mt. Batulao — alam ko na open trail mostly ‘tong dalawa so baka safer ‘to ngayong tag-ulan?
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
This was taken last Oct 2022 during our Mt. Apo hike (Kapatagan Trail via Bansalan). This was my first and only major hike. It was raining so we didn't get a good clearing and it was freezing at night during camp. It's a hard one but we survived because we simply didn't have a choice. But this experience is one for the books. Everytime I get to see Mt. Apo, I get this kilig feeling knowing that I was once up there.
Hi! I’m planning on going on my very first hiking experience around this month of july. My friend and I have been trying to choose which mountain would be suitable for our very first hike and we are trying to choose between sembrano and mariglem, so far. Which would be better? We are also open to more suggestions :)))

DIY with my friends, kumuha kami ng local guide.
Unli patag at 13 ilog bago paakyat n unli ahon.
Maganda yung lugar tho, sobrang shaded lahat nung paahon na part yung patag lang talaga na open lahat.
Pero pwede nyo maskip halos lahat ng ilog kung 4x4 kayong sasakyan or motor at mababa syempre yung ilog.
Sobrang bait mg guide namin dito at mabait mga tao, nakalibre pa kami ng lunch!

Edit: I forgot about the falls, sorry. Nasa 9th river sya pagkakaalala ko don sa may falls pwede mag camp don bago pumasok sa may falls. Sobrang lamig at refreshing ng tubig don, sakto pa na mainit yung weather neto.
My first hike outside the country! 😅
Spent a week in Yunnan, China, and was able to visit one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world (Tiger Leaping Gorge). For this trail, the locals would recommend that you stay the night in a tea house, then continue the climb down in the 2nd day.
Overall, I’d say the hike is beginner-friendly naman, the most intense part lang is the start of the hike, they call it the 28 Bends (28 zigzags na paakyat).
First half of the hike you’re surrounded by tall trees kaya kahit naka-layer ka okay lang, second half of the hike is medyo open trail na pero maulap naman here kaya ‘di mo ramdam yung init, di tulad ng Mt. Mariglem or Batulao.
Bonus also if you guys are around Yunnan, make sure to visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It’s not really a hike per se but you will still climb more than a thousand steps in their snow capped mountain with great views!
Would definitely recommend this trail for people who wants to try hiking in a different country 😁

Worth it ba bumili sa mga nagbebenta ng mga branded jacket sa instagram yon nagpapa mine, steal or grab. Minsan yon branded jacket price start mga 1k plus (steal) para sure makuha mo need mo grab na nasa 2.5k plus for a branded thrift jacket. Worth it ba or invest na lang sa bnew branded jacket like Columbia?

Hi, happy friday everyone!!
Just taking my chances here huhu gusto ko kasi umakyat ng Mt. Sembrano this Sunday pero wala akong kasama dahil balak pa ng friends ko na on July 12 pa and ibang bundok. I'm really bored and hindi ako mapakali sa bahay. Baka po may mga gustong samahan ako as joiner hehe (para niyo ng awa please!) 🤣😭
Also, this will be my second mountain after Tarak Ridge. Thank youu
Hello po, tatanungin ko lang po sana kayo kung okay naman po ba ang difficulty ng Mt. 387 traverse for beginners? Nagka-ayaan kasi ang mga co-workers na mag hike this August and naghahanap pa lang kami ng bundok na aakyatin. May mga co-workers lang kami na may health conditions like gout. Kakayanin naman kaya nila na mag hike kahit may possibility na sumumpong yung condition nya na yun? Blue collar workers naman po kami sa aviation field kaya yung conditioning is siguro medyo meron na kami, need lang ng more exercise pa for training. Kumusta naman po ang weather sa Mt. 387 sa August? mainit pa rin po ba or hindi na masyado and/or maulan na po ba nun? Based po kami sa Pampanga kaya if ever po na hindi Mt. 387, ano po ang bundok na ma-sasuggest ninyo? Thank you po!
Edit: additional question.
ano pinaka recommended niyong shoes for hiking like best of best, planning to buy salomon pero nagddoubt ako kasi sabi hirap daw matuyo ung goretex.. narrow feet po ako. Pa suggest po lahat ng maganda hehe thank you
i see people sa vids wearing shoes naman pero idk if nabasa ba paa nila or not, or baka water resistant ung shoes nila. my shoes is quechua from decathlon btw. mas okay ba sandals or okay lang shoes?
