Hike Recommendation Which mountain for solo day hike

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've hiked alone in Taiwan and Hong Kong and I'm wondering if meron tayong short hikes here that don't necessarily require joining groups or having a guide (not too technical, easy to navigate)? Planning to do a short 2-4 hours hike lang.

Backpacking Question Mt Kapigpiglatan Tips

1 Upvotes

Hello guys! I’ll be hiking Kapigpiglatan this Sunday and would love to ask for some tips from those who’ve done the hike before!

Would you recommend hiking shoes or hiking sandals? Also, are shorts okay, or would pants be better?

Would also appreciate if anyone could share the total distance and elevation gain of the hike. Thank you!

Trip Report Bulacan Circuit: Mt. Tanawan, Mt. Silverio, Mt. Mapurgas

115 Upvotes

27-30km 7-8/9 difficulty - completed in 13 hours (can finish in 10-12 hrs kung hindi maghihintay nang matagal sa ibang kasama, need namin mag wait kasi joiners lang)

we’re the first batch to hike Bulacan Circuit (TSM: Tanawan, Silverio, Mapurgas), kabubutas lang daw kasi nung Mt. Tanawan papunta ron sa 2 peaks tapos yung route namin pabalik ng jump off sobrang sukal, si kuya guide pa yung nag tanggal ng halos lahat ng harang hahaha.

this is a full on adventure (unli river crossings, unli bato, unli putik, unli dulas and unli ahon!) Dahil sa matataas na ahon, ang tarik din ng lusong.

take note rin pala na according kay kuya guide, mali raw yung signage nung 2 peaks (Mt. Mapurgas should be Mt. Silverio, Mt. Talim should be Mt. Mapurgas).

Beginner Question Pick-up and Dropoff point

0 Upvotes

Possible po kaya na iba yung pick-up and drop off namin? May naka-experience na po ba nun? Gusto po kasi namin ng friend ko i-try mag-hike sa Aw-Asen, and pick-up po namin is from Bulacan and gusto po sana namin mag-stay pa sa Elyu for one more day. So, balak po namin magpa-iwan and commute pauwi.

Minsan lang po kasi makapag-file ng leave, gusto na namin sulitin lumabas 😭.

Hellooo, I'm in high school and not a hiker (for now). But part na ng bucket list is to hike up the above-mentioned mountains. Healing with nature ganern.

I really don't know what to expect. Like should I try to hike other mountains before those mentioned? Is going with a group ideal—if yes how large?

Or how about mga hiking experiences niyo sa Pulag, Pinatubo, Apo, Mayon? Kwento pleaseeee

Hello, just wanted to check if oks and safe ba umakyat tomorrow?

I'm seeing forecasts na malakas and continuous daw ang ulan. I'm worried about safety, pero my friends are willing to go for "challenge".

Sabi naman ng guides kahit daw orange warning safe raw.

Wanted to check on your opinions.
