ReplyDeleteDaguldol was where Christine, The Jovial Wanderer and I became close! It was such a memorable climb, and we did a Laiya side trip as well.
ReplyDeletewow. ako naman nakasama ko si ate christine sa Maculot.. haha. at nag-feeling close naman ako sa kanya. hehe
Deleteako rin feeling close kay Ms. Christine.
Deletelaking tulong to. ikaw na ata next na gideon.
ReplyDeletenahiya naman ako kay doc gideon. haha
Deletesalamat sa travel guide na ito.. malaking tulong sa mga mahilig mamundok.. at hindi ako yun. hahaha!
ReplyDeletetamad lang. wala bang porter papunta diyan? yung ilalagay ako sa duyan saka bibitbitin paakyat? lol!
ang ganda kasi e. naiinggit ako
lol parang si Apolinario Mabini lang. hahaha. pwede naman siguro mag check in sa isang resort sa Laiya then iwan yunggamit doon para mag dayhike sa mt daguldol.
DeleteI like your entry better then mine hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteVery detailed :D
Which is easier to climb mt. Daguldol or mt. Manabu? Galing ako manabu last week and we are planning to hike at mt. Daguldol pero this time gusto ng kids ko sumama! Safe ba trail for them? 7, 8 and 10 yrs old sila.
ReplyDeletebased on experience, Mt. Daguldol is more difficult. Mas mahaba kasi ang trek at maraming steep assault. Meron naman kayong kasamang guide (required kasi kumuha), and I think safe naman kasi walang matatarik na portion. Mas maganda din ang experience dito because of the side trips.
Deletegood luck to your climb mam :)
kaya po ba 1 day trek ksama sidetrips? 2nd time pa lng din namin aakyat, sa guide 350 pesos ksama namin siya hanggang pgbaba o ibang bayad pa po un? from Cavite kami... :P
ReplyDeletesiguro kung beterano na kyo sa akyatan at kaya nyo ang mabilisang hike, kakayanin nyo yan i-dayhike. but who knows, baka mga hardcore pala kayo sa ayatan kahit 2nd time nyo pa lang :D
Deletesayang naman yung views at side trip kapag ginawa nyong dayhike yan.. kasi mabilisan lang ang lahat, hndi nyo masyado maeenjoy.
ihahatid lang kayo ng guide hanggang sa summit, iiwan na nya kayo dun. isa lang naman yung trail paakyat at pababa kaya ok lang na wala nang guide pababa, kaya nyo na yun ;)
Deletepede bang wala guide?
ReplyDeletehi Ivan, i am planning to climb Mt Arayat on May, it's my first climb. Any advise? what should i prepare to bring?
ReplyDeleteYou did camping quite well, I am also going their in the last week of March. Traveling on different place and climbing both are my favorite things which i do in my holidays. This time I deciding to visit MT. daguldol. I am going there first time.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteWe are planning to climb Mt. Daguldol on July and gusto lang namin malaman kung kaya ba to ng dayhike. Di kasi kami pwede mag overnight e. Hehe.
