I want to share my experience. I'm afraid in height that's why I'm afraid to hike. Believe me or not, it just I'm not a sporty kind of person. My hobby is just watching korean dramas. I love to travel, yes! but I want something that is relaxing, like beaches or resorts and sight seeing.
" Do one thing everyday That scares you." A quotes that I read that's make me think I need to explore. So why not to hike. Kudos to the author of that quotes and I experienced something new.
It's is the first view before going to the town of Daraitan.
The sunset along Tanay Rizal. Smiling at us and It's feel so great. Indeed a nice view.
There's a lot of group hiking in Daraitan . The place is now a well known tourist spot for hikers since it was open in 2014.
It's my first time to hike, It's really a tiring day.
We spend a day tour at Tinipak River Rock Formation and Tinipak cave in Mt. Daraitan Tanay Rizal however we don't have time to hike the summit or the Mt. Daraitan itself and I think you need to spend a one night and another day inorder for you to experienced the whole package of the Mt. Daraitan summit.
It almost an hour of walk not to mentioned that there's a tricycle that offer you a ride from the town up to the front of the river for around P150.00 ($3.00). In front of the river is a long journey of walk. I think It's almost a long walk, but it's not because we just starting.
You need to climb to reach the cave and it's so fulfilling seeing the wonderful view.
We also paid for a travel guide for P500.00 ($10.00) and they have a policy that 1 travel guide is good for 10 person only, and my goodness! we're 11 person so we need to have a 2 travel guide in order for us to hike. There's a camping site in the area and along the way there's store where you can buy a meal.
We actually didn't inform that there's a store along the way so we bring foods to grilled. We're afraid to be hungry.
For me it's really awesome experienced. We also enjoy swimming inside the cave. The water is clear and refreshing, the white-colored boulders of rocks is so amazing.
Thank you steemit friends. I'm a newbie here! but I hope you like it. Until my next hiking adventure (hope so!)
