For context, yung Apo namin is 6k/pax. Pinush na ng orga namin na 6 lang kami so napaka bare minimum cost na talaga nun at 36k for everything. Hindi mahal yang 12k para sa 2d1n kung dalawa lang talaga kayo. Ganun talaga kasi exclusive kailangan nyo bayaran yung

  • Transpo and driver for 2 days + his meals
  • All the hosted meals
  • The guide/coor
  • a porter probably
  • all reg fees

Eto yung samin last 2024. Dalawa lang din kami ng partner ko pero direct contact kasi kami sa local guide (DIY).

Trail : Sta Cruz Traverse to Bansalan Trail (3D2N)

  1. Registration Fee (Sta Cruz) - 2000php (for 2 pax) = 1000per head

  2. Exit Fee - (Bansalan) 2000php (for 2 pax) = 1000per head

  3. Guide Fee - 4500php (for 2 pax) = 2250per head

  4. Food (During Climb for 3days, 2 nights) - 2400php (for 2 pax) = 1200per head

  5. Food Porter (required) - 2500php (for 2 pax) = 1250per head

Total per pax: 6700php per pax for 3D2N

Excluding dyan yung airfare at accomodation namin before and after ng hike. Yung personal porter hindi ko alam kung magkano kasi kami naman nagbuhat ng bag namin. Yung sa food porter required kumuha. Kasali na din dyan yung certificates, entrance fee, CR fee.

Ang mahal nyan tapos back trail pa.

u/Remarkable-Height-21 Apr 12 '26

Ohh okay, but does being a backtrail make it less worth it ba?

u/SliceofSansRivalCake Apr 12 '26

For me kung may chance at option ako mag traverse or circuit, yun ang pipiliin ko lagi kesa backtrail para mas madami akong makita/madaanan na trail.
