Mt. Kabunian — Local services in Benguet

It's a very lovely place. It was my first hike ever and it was a major hike with 4 peaks (mountain) before you get to the summit.

Not beginner friendly. It will test your fear of heights. It has 4 hanging bridges and one mountain has what they call "stairway to heaven" which I literally cried due to fear of heights. Ensure that you have the right shoes for this since some spots can be slippery due to loose rocks. Good thing it wasn't raining when we hiked. I was wearing a sandugo sandals and it was challenging.

With plenty of rest, we were able to reach the summit for 7 hrs then going back for 6 hours. Total of 13 hours or probably 12 hours.

Beware of cramps and pulikat because all of us had that in our hike which made our hike longer than expected. We hiked from 7:30am then were able to get back at 8:58. It was memorable and I am happy I experienced it even though I wanted to give up plenty of times and wanted to cry for help and rescue going back 😭

Disclaimer: This is my first hike ever so the time frame may vary depending on your stamina as well. On average people finish the hike...

One of the most scenic climbs I've ever experienced though it's my 1st Major Climb. It's not for beginners unless you are used to walking long hours in similar environments.

It took me almost 12 hrs to finish this on a day hike and I consumed 4L of water. Almost 80% of the trek is open so if you climb during a sunny day, you'll experience heat cramps or heat exhaustion. There are a lot of stairs to the point where a part is called stairways to heaven.

If you are afraid of heights, expect 4 hanging bridge and overlooking cliffs. Make sure to bring plenty of energy snacks and be prepared for the possibilities of rain.

There are also slippery areas, so make sure to wear comfortable, sturdy, and appropriate footwear.

I am a slow hiker, I struggle with trekking uphill so most of the time I'm with the sweeper. Hike at your own risk but don't forget to...

Definitely one of the most memorable climb in my life 10%flat 90% assault not for the whiners not fully prepared physically and mentally to climb these mountain ,16 kms of gruelling assault to the summit is all worth it of the beautiful view. Better start early as 4-5 am to avoid hot early climb it's 4-5 hrs ascend and 3-4 hrs descent. Bring sunblock coz it's really hot at 12nn to 3pm sunny day . bring 2-3 ltrs of water,energy drink .their is also a water source before the summit and halfway but cut short...
