Last January 2018, I had the chance to explore Mt. Balagbag. It is located in Rizal/Bulacan. Only 2 hours away from Metro Manila! This would be my 4th hiking experience! It was pretty easy to be honest. You just need to follow the long and winding road that leads to the summit~

The trail is spacious and broad, even cars can pass by. We encountered bikers  as well. It’s a great track to practice cycling on off-road terrain.

There are people camping in this area. The view from there is marvelous! Too bad I wasn’t able to take a shot.

It was foggy during our hike so we didn’t really see the entire view when we reached the summit. Pretty sad, huh.

Photo below: See how foggy and misty it was! It was a bit chilly as well.

Meet my friend-slash-tour-guide! He arranged our DIY day hike.

Here’s our budget:

P55 Fare Cubao - Tungko (x2)

P27 Fare Tungko - Licao-Licao (x2)

P10 Barangay Registration Fee

P20 Private Registration Fee

TOTAL: P194
