Mt. Daraitan - Tramping Advisory (300 hikers)

As part of the efforts in regulating the influx of mountaineers, occasional hikers, weekend warriors, and tourist, the local leaders of Brgy. Daraitan in Tanay, Rizal, have implemented the rule that starting  January 30, 2016, only 300 hikers per day shall be allowed access into the summit of Mt. Daraitan.

While this rule is also subject to certain adjustments, as chance summiteers may take the risk of waiting for the possibility of being allowed to proceed to the summit once the condition of the foot traffic there improves, there are other alternative activities that are available for those who will not be included in the daily quota. These include the Maytuntong Cave, enjoy the cool and clear waters of the Tinipak River, or hike up to the summit of the recently-opened Mt. Marara.

So in case you wish to go to the summit, make adjustments to your schedule and go there as early as possible.

Happy Hiking! Seize the trails!

Mt. Pulag - Tramping Advisory (Reservation Fees)

As the process of making prior reservations with the DENR has been abused by unscrupulous and insensitive organizers, the Mt. Pulag National Park Management has issued an advisory today mandating climb organizers with monthly and/or weekly reservations to pay the corresponding registration fees of all the slots they have reserved at the Visitors Center and Protected Area Office prior to the actual date of the supposed climbs / hikes.

Mt. Pulag's Summit is teeming with hikers and mountaineers every weekend.

Sea of Clouds

Failure to pay the aforementioned reservation fees shall forfeit the supposed slots reserved by the aforesaid climb organizers. Moreover, reservation shall be non-transferable and non-refundable.

With this, the Park Management aims to address the disadvantage and prejudice caused by the indiscriminate practice of some climb organizers to monopolize the limited slots allotted for weekend climbs in Mt. Pulag via the Ambangeg Trail.

Mt. Pulag is in everybody's mountaineering bucket list.
