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...

**frt** · January 4th, 2004 02:23 PM

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)

**afrasay** · January 5th, 2004 01:28 AM

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

**pissword** · January 5th, 2004 12:57 PM

hahah biglang bawi.... ang ganda naman ng sagada. madali lang ba matunton using a map??

if ever pala 4x2 lang ang dala dyan nalang dadaan para naman ndi mastuck, ndi ba recommended 1 vehicle lang?? rav4 lang.. nagbabalak lang naman

**kimpOy** · January 5th, 2004 01:09 PM

wow congrats, isa yan sa gusto kong marating.

**Ungas** · January 5th, 2004 02:56 PM

Ako rin, kelan kaya ako makakapunta sa Sagada?

**frt** · January 5th, 2004 05:27 PM

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?

**NightRock** · January 5th, 2004 06:39 PM

Parang sarap bumalik sa SAGADA... mukhang mas OK pag super lamig

oo nga pala, nabalitaan ko sa 4x4ph.com may track daw sa tanay...landcraft...wala bang gusto mag plano ng trail dun? FRT...wat u think? Subukan natin Paj habang wala pa yung MUTT hehehe

**Ungas** · January 6th, 2004 06:22 PM

We have tried a small portion of the LandCraft trail last December, pics on my sig just click on the link for Christmas Drive Offroad. :D

There are some other trails that we haven't been thru yet, if you guys want a bone jarring ride, ask the Javier boys where the snake hill is.

nakapunta na ako sa sagada, 2001 pa. commute nga lang. halsema road yata dinaaan namin. 5 hours ang byahe eh! tsaka sa baguio nanggaling. sobrang torture talagang winding ang kalsada tapos lahat pa ng kasama mo sumusuka. hehehe :D

sobra ang lamig! tatlong patong na ang damit ko giniginaw pa rin ako! that time puro suv ang nakita kong paakyat. me isang corolla kami kasabay pero siguradong durog ang underchassis non.

punta kami sumaging cave, hanging coffins, etc. etc.
nakita ko dun si shannen torres, dating vj ng mtv. kasama nya yata bf nya. siguraduhin nyo lang na physically fit kayo kasi all you'd be doing there is walk! ako hinapo at nagdilim ang paningin pagkatapos bumaba at umakyat ng sumaging caves. hehehe :D

ang babait din ng mga tao. friendly at accomodating silang lahat. english speaking pa nga karamihan. pag gusto nyong pumunta sa sumaging cave, punta lang kayo sa city hall para mag-hire ng " tour guide" siguraduhin din ang accomodation kasi mabilis mapuno ang mga hotels at inns. lalo na sa peak season (december) tinulugan namin nun dating kumbento kwarto namin dating chapel pa mismo...ngiiiii...kakakilabot yun..pero wala kaming choice eh puno na lahat.

Sagada...One of the farthest , yet the best place ive been so far.
