Manila to Naga

[yubby24]

^
Typical 12 hours ang byahe pag umaga.

So maybe 7 or 8pm? Kaso baka madaling araw pa lang, nandon ka na. But sooner is better right?

Pwede siguro. Ipafinalize pa namin kung anong oras ang magiging alis.

I left around 10pm arrived 7 or 8 am. early enough to see mayon uncovered by the clouds. Sarap ng ginataang dishes nila. I don't remember the hotel [emoji848]

friendliest drivers!

Yung alis nyo po ng 10pm, may mga stop over pa yun? Anong magandang tahaking ruta para sa mga magandang tanawin on the way?

Didn't want to open a new thread kaya dito na lang.

Kung balak namin magpunta sa Legazpi City on a weekend. Anong oras magandang umalis from Pasig para makarating ng mga umaga doon sa Legazpi? Konting activities lang naman ang balak namin. Pasyal sa lignon hill, Cagsawa, ATV trail. Kung may maisasuggest kayo ok rin. Naisip ko kung alis ng mga 12mn Saturday para kung may konting stop over para magstretching/cr break eh di aabutin ng tanghali pagdating ng Legazpi.

Thank you.

Landfall sa sabado yung bagyo, maulan yan, suggest move your trip to the next weekend.
In case matuloy kayo, at first time mo pa Legaspi, better to leave 8-9 PM in Pasig, expect weekend traffic.
Nasa Legaspi kana around 8-9 AM, may mga ginagawa pang tulay from Naga to Legaspi so expect moderate traffic.
Suggested cr break for the night trip, Shell at SLEX, Total Station at Lucena Diversion, seaside restaurants at Atimonan,
Petron or Caltex at Sipocot, Shell at Naga diversion. Wee hours kasi pag daan mo ng Naga kaya karamihan gasoline station lang ang open.
Pag dating mo ng Daraga, madaming restaurant dyan along the highway offering bicolano cuisine, at 6 AM , mga bagong luto pa.

If first time trip, gamit ka ng GPS, place to watch out; Lopez to Tagkawayan , daming blind curves, although widened yung road, pero may mga truck na nagpapa park. Andaya highway, daming truck, and potholes, Sipocot to Naga Road, widened road, pero poorly lighted, daming naaksidente dyan kasi may tumatakbo ng +120kph dyan.

Kain kayo Zeny's alimango and sugpo. Mura and paluto sya.

Going to Bicol, paglagpas ng Lopez Quezon before mag Calauag Quezon. Left side.

Very detailed tip. Thanks po! Di pa naman po this weekend kami aalis pero most likely weekend talaga ang magiging alis namin. Salamat po ulit!

Gusto ko rin matry daanan ito. Madadaanan ko ba ito papunta? Maliwanag naman po ang daan sa gabi?

Sarap!

Isa pa itong mga must try na kainan na dapat magawa namin. May initial list na kami at nagbabasa basa pa ng mga blogs kung saan masarap.


Ang daming tips. Maraming salamat po sa inyong mga sumagot! :D

its pretty dark. clean headlights help alot. go slow if you're loaded,

you save an hour via bituka

there is construction on going last time but only small vehicles are allowed there.

some folks assist at night there because of one lane areas. they use led flashlights. prepare to stop when encouraged to do so. blind curves kase.

10 minutes oneway

there is a toilet there...

Musta condition ng kalsada papuntang bicol?

[jut703]

Eme is only 4 km shorter than the Diversion Road. It's only 7 km in total, compared to 11 km if you go around Quezon National Park. OA naman 1 hour, kahit rush hour hindi ganun. [emoji23]

On average around 5-10 min difference lang.

Yes. Even with trucks, few minutes lang ang difference. I used to drive Manila to Bicol several times a month.

Pa gas kayo sa Pagbilao Quezon mura! especially yung after ng diversion road ng Lucena (going to naga). Yung stretch ng mga gasoline stations dun.

[sleeepy]

Sa mga frequent traveller to bicol, Kamusta kaya ang daan pa bicol? ano na kaya lagay ng andaya highway? and nadagdagan kaya yung by pass roads sa quezon?

[yubby24]

Okay po bang dumaan sa Old Zigzag Road (Bitukang Manok) ng madaling araw? Mga 4:00 - 5:00 AM?

question should be. tapos na ba construction duon? lol

it should be fine. its rather dark so clean the ws in and out as well as the headlights. there are folks there that sorta guide you(over a year ago). you can hand them some coins. theres a semi steep area.. brakes must be good.

[chronicle]

Where is the real bitukang manok?
Is it the one on quezon national park or the one in daet?

We are thinking if we will pass through the area or take the diversion road instead. Pag inabot siguro kami ng liwanag doon, we will take that route, otherwise, diversion road na lang. I am looking at youtube videos of those who recently went that way. My mother-in-law doesn't want us to take that road because before di raw sila pinapadaa. (it was way back in 90s). Sabi ko maayos na ang daan ngayon compared nung dumaan sila noon.

Ok daanan ang bitukang manok, even at night. Just pay attention to the flag waiving traffic guides, prepare also some coins for them. Marami paring dumadaan even past midnight. Just watch for the road/slope repair. Isasara kang nila yan during heavy rains at may danger ng slides.

I find the diversion road more dangerous, almost everyday may aksidente, marami kasing truck.

Andaya highway mayron paring portion na under repair but not that extensive.

Thanks for the tip sir. Bitukang manok it is! Matutuloy na yata kami sa August para sa Manila to Mindanao road trip namin.
