Super love the place. You can't believe there's a superb place for nature lovers near the metro. The place is accessible by all types of vehicles and will take you around 3-4hrs of driving if you're coming from metro manila. Then after, you have to register..50pesos per head plus 200 for the tourist guide plus 150pesos for car parking. The guide will accompany you for a 30min trail before you reach the hills proper. You can choose if you want an easy or a steep climb going to the top of the hill. The tila pilon hills sign can be found on the steep climb trail. If you have kids or elderly i suggest to take the easy trail. If you want to take the steep climb don't worry because there is a rope you can hold while reaching the top. The views are amazing and super perfect for photo ops. Super relaxing and you can view the sierra madre mountains up close. After you've finished you can find stalls selling food if you want to take your lunch or simply you can bring your own food which i think is safe because you can't guarantee the cleanliness of the food their selling. You can also do camping and pitch your tent overnight if you want to witness sea of clouds in the sunrise. Our guide says that in order to do overnight camping you have to pay 2 guides for 800pesos each aside from the other fees i mentioned earlier. I believe this place is the most accessible of all the spots you can...

In entrance, we paid for 800pesos for 8person which includes environmental fee, entrance fee and tour guide fee. To get there, you need to hike atleast an hour depending on your pace but the tour guide taught us that there is a shortcut to get easily up the hills. We just need to pay 40pesos to pass through a private property for the shortcut. It just took 15-20mins.
Going up the hill was very easy because there is a rope that will help you climb up. The scenery up the hill was so refreshing and instagramable.
