Gen1 PAJ - Sagada Trip

**frt** · January 4th, 2004 01:00 AM

Went to Sagada Dec.27 to 30....Ganda nang panahon! Also the road trip was cool specially the Banawe to Bontoc road. Ok pang amateur 4x4 drivers.:nerd:

Pag dating don...sobrang lamig, went down to 5 deg. on Dec.27 pero the next few days ok na 10 to 15 deg lang the whole day.

A little mud....

White PAJ (nicoboy): 2.6L Gas Engine M/T
Blue PAJ (mine) : 2.5 TDIC A/T

Medyo malakas sa gas yung white. Pag dating sa off road pareho lang ang power.

Konting swimming (up to running board lang yung tubig) daming ganito along the way (Banawe to Bontoc)

Some say the Baguio to Sagada road (Halsema?) is tougher...havent tried it.

By the way....we left 1230am in Manila. Grabe fog sa Dalton Pass (Nueva Vizcaya). Fog lamps were a big help. Also sa Banawe to Bontoc road....ang kapal din nang fog.

I won't recommend the Baguio to Sagada route (8hrs) . Grabe ang terrain and nakakabato, not much to see.

A ganon ba....sabi pa naman nung nakausap ko naka E150 doon daw sila dumaan mas "scenic" pero rough roads...thanks for the tip!

Nice Pics. Question lang po, do you really need a 4x4 to go up to Sagada ? Kaya rin ba ito ng van, say a Hi-ace Grandia. Post ka pa ng pics. Thanks...

Ese : Hi Ace kaya, Toyota Corolla 96 model nga nakakita ko eh (kaya lang kawawa)

The view from Kiltipan . This can be hiked for 25minutes or take your vehicle up to the site itself. (Medyo matarik) Ako naglakad, i like hiking a lot. My in laws nag drive (tanda na eh)

We went up Kiltipan using our 4x4 in low gear. Pero hindi pa kami matanda ah ;)

Ako rin, kelan kaya ako makakapunta sa Sagada?

pISSWORD :Kaya nang 4X2...wag ka lang pa picture sa putik gaya ko....na stuck he he he...buti na lang 4x4 na auto lock yung hub kung hindi baba pa ko para lock (lubog putik sapatos).
Madali lang puntahan (exit st. Rita) and follow the never ending road to Solano, NV...then Banaue...then Bontoc...then Sagada!

AFRASAY: Kaya ba nang non 4x4 Kiltipan? Parang mahirap no?
