manila to sagada

[MR_BIG18]

Safe ba ang daan pa-Banaue ng gabi pa-madaling araw? Gusto sana namin abutan yung sunrise sa rice terraces eh.

Walang sunrise masyado don. Since medyo mapuno. And makipot daan.
Best bet halselma since facing north east ang route going to sagada

Oo nga. Based sa street view medyo makipot nga. Daytime na lang kami punta para sa views. Plano ko mga 2nd weekend ng January pumunta. Salamat sir.

From Sagada to Banawe ba via Bontoc?
Ma fog and makipot nga daan, may road repair pa, 10kph ako dyan inabutan ako ng liwanag sa daan. May foglight (remote rotate) pa ako nyan, although may nasasalubong akong mga grandia van galing banawe, hirap kasi to banawe sa cliff side ka most of the way.
Kung sunrise experience, try kiltepan peak in sagada. Maaga ka nga lang, daming tao kahit January na.

So mas advisable po magdrop by sa Banaue pag pauwi na lang ng Manila?

Naisip ko kasi Manila -> Banaue -> Baguio -> Manila. Mas okay ba kung baliktarin namin?

Para sa akin mas pabor kung drop by Banaue pa uwi, daan kalang sa view point ng Banaue Terraces, along the road yan from Bontoc to Banaue.
Mas hindi stressful ang pag drive from Banaue to Manila via Bagabag, ang hassle lang dyan yung traffic sa Solano, maganda at malapad daan dyan.

Kung Manila-Banaue-Baguio naman, derecho ka muna sa lookout ng Banaue Rice Terraces, unahan ng Banaue town proper, then sleep Banaue ka, next morning sabayan mo yung mga tourist van pa Sagada para dika mahirapan sa pag drive. Visit tourist spot sa Sagada, sleep Sagada ka ulit, then next day after kiltepan peak sunrise view straight to Baguio kana. You should be in Baguio by mid afternoon, mas mabagal ang pa Sagada to Baguio, uphill kasi most of the way. Stop over ka din sa philippine highway highest peak.

BTW may mga tourist van na umaalis ng madilim pa from Banaue to Sagada for the kiltepan peak sunrise then balik Banaue sa hapon, mga one day trip package offer ng mga hotel sa Banaue. Kung ito sasabayan mo hindi kana kailangan mag sleep sa Sagada, kaso, gabi kana darating sa Baguio, which I dont recommend, sobrang stress na.

Make sure may emergency light, tire inflator, extra engine oil, brake fluid, coolant at first aid kit kang dala. Sa akin kasi naka bag lahat yan, nililipat kolang ng sasakyan.

Happy trip, kung from Baguio ka baka magkasabay pa tayo, January 4 kami coming from Baguio.

Thank you for a very detailed explanation sir. Ito na siguro magiging route namin.

3rd yr PMS ko sa Sabado kaya nagplano na ko ng next road trip sa January. Nakaready na rin yung emergency kit pati inflatable air bed.

No difference whether you do Manila-Baguio-Sagada-Banaue-Manila or Manila-Banaue-Sagada-Baguio-Manila. If you stay long enough, you can plan your itinerary to see all the sights and avoid driving at night when it gets foggy.

I prefer the first option so that you don't need to rush:

Day 1: Travel to Baguio, overnight in Baguio
Day 2: Travel to Sagada, be there by lunchtime, enough time to see the caves and the hanging coffins in the afternoon, Lake Danum for sunset
Day 3: Kiltepan in the morning, travel to Banaue in the afternoon and see the rice terraces
Day 4: Batad rice terraces, drive back to Manila

Planning to go Manila to Baguio to Sagada to Banaue this month. Can you recommend a good place to stay in Sagada? TIA

Finally made this trip this year, May 1 to 4. Stayed at Martha's Hearth, reco ni bro...Memorable long drive. Kapag nadrive mo to Sagada, sisiw na ang Baguio. Medyo physically demanding pala ang treks kaya nalimit kami sa lakaran. Just went to see hanging coffins near the church. May side trip din Sagada to Banawe rice terraces. Overall the roads are well paved. Manageable kahit small cars, took the Baguio-Halsema route and back.

Btw Sagada orange season is October to December, so orange-picking na by this time sa Rock Inn.

^ I'd love to go driving back to sagada (nag tourist van kami dati almost 20 yrs ago na Pala) and then proceed further up north. Madami pa daw untouristy places there. May mga nawawala pa nga daw sa wooded uplands nila doon Kasi Hindi dinadayo masyado at Sparsely inhabited daw.

Did this recently on my motorcycle, which is not expressway-capable. Plying the old bayan-bayan is not recommended...

Started from Manila at 1AM and reached Sagada at 2PM, major stops ko lang were Rosario for breakfast, and Baguio for caffeine. Inulan ako from Valenzuela to Cabanatuan, dry na until Sagada.

Kailangan pala ng guide going to the hanging coffins, pumuslit ako and got there by myself lol. Nawala pa ako sa sementeryo looking for the trail, napunta ako dun sa tower.

Observing the sea of clouds while the sun rises is pure bliss.

After Sagada I rode to the rice terraces, inulan nanaman. Then I decided to take a looonoog detour for the new highest highway point in Tinoc, inulan ako from Banaue to Tinoc for 3 hours lol. Then baba ng Baguio.

Bumaba ako Baguio 5AM then reached Manila past 1PM
