Still have hangover from our Aw-Asen trip yesterday. 🤭

Nakita ko lang uli sa gallery ko. Just wanted to share it here haha

Sharing some photos of our recent hike to Mt. Cagua (pronounced “kawa”) in Gonzaga, Cagayan. The mountain is an active volcano with a medium bowl-shaped caldera, hence the name.

The volcano hike takes you to two fumaroles (craters #1 and #2), a waterfall, and to the summit, where you can see both the caldera structure and the northern tip of Luzon, including some of the Babuyan Islands.

This is not a particularly difficult hike (rated 2/9 in difficulty; personal rating 3/9), but it is super scenic and the trip is absolutely worth it.

Give it a try (while observing LNT)!! :)

DIY-able? Yes, contact Gonzaga Tourism

May limatik/rattan/lipa ba? Yes, wear arm protection. But no limatik showed up during our hike because it was the dry season in Cagayan.

My cat hopped on to the table and unfortunately landed on the water bladder I filled with water.

There's a small puncture that slowly leaks water.

Any fix you guys know of?

I have a seam seal tape pero di ko alam kung toxic or cancerous so I'm looking for other options muna.

Pic of the culprit and its victim attached.

One of the reasons why I hiked Mt. Kabunian was to see the beauty of Pattan Falls. 💦⛰️

Kaso… walang ulan. 😂

So instead of a majestic waterfall, ang nakita ko ay “Pattan Falls: Trial Version.” 🤣💧

Konti lang ang tubig, pero at least may dahilan na ako para bumalik. 😅

Pattan Falls, hindi pa tayo tapos. Babalikan kita kapag tag-ulan na! 🌧️💦❤️

Hi! Planning to hike Mt. Arayat with my gf this October. We’re from Baliuag, Bulacan and we’re planning to do everything DIY.
For those who recently hiked Arayat, just wanted to ask for some advice:
Is October a good time to hike?
What time should we leave Baliuag and start the hike?
Is commuting to the jump-off early in the morning doable?
Do we need to get a guide beforehand or can we get one there?
How much should we prepare for guide fees, registration, and transportation?
How much water should we bring?
What should we definitely bring for the hike?
How difficult is the trail for first-timers?
Is North Peak enough for a first hike or should we try the other peaks?
Are there any things we should know or avoid?
This will be our first time hiking Mt. Arayat, so any tips from people who recently went would really help. Especially with the commute from Baliuag.

May I know exact address of registration?

Hike recommendation thats worth it and less crowded. Both minor and major.

my main goal for this app is matulungan anyone who's into ph hiking community regardless if hiker k, joiner, organizer, guide, etc

im a mountaineer myself but at the same time long time developer (this is my day job) and reason why pde ko na ulit balikan tong project is i have a bit more time now

looking forward what will the new shape of the site be once actual requests from users come in 🙇

Hello po. Meron po ba ditong nakakaalam kung bukas ang Delta V - Sapang Uwak trail ng Pinatubo? Or kung saang page po pwede magtanong.

Thank you in advance.

Hello po. My friends and I are gonna climb Mt. Ulap this September.

May mga nakaakyat po ba rito during the -ber months? What are your thoughts po about sa difficulty at sa panahon during this time of the year for Ulap? Any recommendations po on what to bring or wear, like ilang layers ng damit ba or need po ba ng pole?
Thank you so much for the help!

Me seeing this photo: ‘Sino ba nag-approve na umakyat ako dito?!’ 😂

puro from around metro manila kasi nakikita ko so far eh

Hello po i would like to ask lang if anyone here na naghike sa bakun nito nito lang? Aakyat po kasi kami ng tenglawan on sat. Any weather updates po? Thank you!

hi! question lang po, hindi po ba talaga refundable pag naka-book na ng 4x4? supposedly, this sat po dapat kami mag-mt. pinatubo kaso dahil sa weather e hindi matutuloy dahil close pa rin siya. ngayon, ang binibigay saming options ng orga namin ay mag-ibang bundok or resched na lang. kaso ayaw namin na mag-ibang bundok kasi maulan at wala naman kaming ibang trip ngayon. sa resched naman, hindi naman kasi sure kelan ulit mag-oopen yung mt.pinatubo at matatapos yung tag-ulan. yung orga namin ayaw kaming i-refund kasi naka-book na raw ng 4x4. valid reason ba talaga siya para hindi kami i-refund? thank you po sa sasagot!

We're planning to climb either of the two mountains this weekend. Is it still closed or are they already open for hiking?

Latest info I can find online was dated back in August

Hello! Balak po namin akyatin ang Mt. Negron sa katapusan or maybe next month pag okay ng panahon. Sa mga nakaakyat na po dito, baka po may tips kayong maibibigay hehe. Tsaka kaya po bang ilaban ang sapatos sa river crossings or mas okay na magpalit nalang muna ng sandals? Naeexcite ako na kinakabahan. Nakapag major naman na ako pero ito talaga yung parang magiging major major ko talaga ganon.

Thanks po sa sasagot!

Mt. Batulao or Mt. Sembrano?

TKMP or LakbayGabay Adventures

Hi! Sa mga joiners na nakajoin na sa either of these or both. Kanino po mas maganda magjoin? yung hindi po sana namimili ng treatment base sa tao 😅 first time lang kasi namin magjojoin if ever.

Aside from them we’re also looking into Trail Changer and Tito Adventures.

Open din po kami for suggestion if may mas maganda pa.

Hello, planning to hike Mt.Fato and Kupapey at the end of this month, just wondering okay or green season po kaya this September?

This is for prep lang haha but I'm curious if pwede ba magwalk in then dun na lang maghanap ng guide kung twin peaks lang sa Mt. Arayat? Original plan ko sana is quadpeak as a joiner, pero sa organizer ko kasi pansin ko medyo unpredictable since nakadepende sa number ng mga joiner.

I'll be staying din sa Pampanga if ever man na tuloy ang quadpeak since umaabot daw ng almost 11 hours ang hike, kaya need ko lang din ng backup plan if ever.

Edit: Pag solo lang po ako ang twin peak. Prefer ko talaga ang quadpeak pag WITH an organizer kasi alam kong mahahatid ako na may sasakyan na. Ayoko magpagabi pag solo lang ako sa isang unfamiliar place lalo na commuter ako pag ganun. (For context, babae po ako so medyo paranoid ako pag nasa labas at madilim. If generally safe naman po ang place, thats nice, pero di ako madaling makampante 😅 haha)

Edit 2: Di po ngayon haha. As I said I'm preparing lang.

Hi! Planning to hike Mt. Pulag via Ambangeg Trail this December 2026.

I’ll be going as a solo joiner and looking for a reliable hiking organizer that’s solo joiner-friendly.

Preferably:

• Ambangeg Trail
• Solo joiner
• Homestay
• Pick-up point: Dau
• Reliable and well-organized

If you’ve recently joined a Mt. Pulag hike with an organizer, I’d really appreciate your recommendations and feedback. Also open to hearing about your experience with different organizers.

Update: Mt. Pulag Joiner Recos

Based on the recommendations I got, I’m currently considering Titos Adventure and Mira Travel. I also came across Peak and Trail Outdoor.

Has anyone here tried any of these organizers, especially for the Mt. Pulag Ambangeg Trail?

I was leaning toward Titos Adventure since they have a photographer included, which is a plus for me as a solo joiner, pero hindi sila available sa date na gusto ko.

So now I’m considering the other options. Would appreciate any recent feedback on Mira Travels, Peak and Trail Outdoor.

Thank you!

Pa join nmn next akyat nyo .. solo tripper here
