trip to baguio

[lhandzs]

salamat mga bro, yup naranasan na nga namin yan dati makatulog at magising kami sa traffic sobra kaya madaling araw kami aalis. add ko din sa list ng tatawagan yang blue mountain hotel

[XTO]

kaya nag mazda 323 yan kahit 1.3 kung top condition: bagong tune-up, newly changed oil at fully
checked ang brakes and fluids. doble ingat lang since me bata kayo kasama.
okey nga i-off ang a/c while going up. ramdam mo pagbaba ng klima. marcos hi-way para di matarik masyado compared sa kennon.
happy driving.

[lhandzs]

thanks, double check ko din yung car bago kami umalis.

I guess ur car can make. btw, if you could find a way to by-pass urdaneta would make your trip enjoyable one, since traffic at the Urdaneta junction is quite heavy ( with the road and bridge repair) Enjoy ur vacation !!!!!!!

Grabe nga ang traffic sa Urdaneta, you could take a detour from Carmen thru Rosales and follow the road signs to Binalonan, road conditions there are very good.

Just went to Baguio last December before mag Xmas and also it was my first time. Dala ko Gen7 na Galant V6, so no questions asked kung makakaakyat. I'm with a couple and my gf. Traffic nga sa Urdaneta since yung daan sa town proper eh ginagawa. Di naman namin alam kung san ang alternative routes, basta kami just followed the road thru signs. You don need to turn on the a/c kung nasa Marcos Highway na kasi mas maappreciate mo yung daan and the environment. Parang gusto ko magdrift lalo na nung pababa. Mt Akina. hehehe

[edzzz]

we had Prime Hotel nga pala for 2 days since ang gusto talaga namin eh sa town proper ksi gusto ni gf mag ukay-ukay, P1600 per night, ok din yung rooms. Una namin tinignan yung Citylite Hotel kaso fully booked na. Astig experience ko sa Baguio, badtrip nga lang yung daan dun, daming steep ascending and descending, kawawa ang gas tsaka brakes. Daming tao parang Divisoria na may aircon yung dulo nang Session Road hanggang palengke

Ang galing naman dito sa tsikot ang dami nagrereply

hindi na traffic pag madaling araw. pero kung aalis ka dito ng madaling araw, i-timing mo na darating ka ng Urdaneta before 7 am. pag inabutan ka ng 7-8 am traffic na. s

nung dec 23 exactly 7:30 am dumating kami ng Urdaneta going to Baguio, ma-traffic na. pabalik naman umalis kami ng 8 pm ng dec 25 sa baguio. 4 1/2 hours lang biyahe hanggang dito sa amin sa QC.

I don't know if this will be to your advantage pero kahit paano mababawasan yung pagkatraffic mo sa Urdaneta.

Bago ka makarating sa urdaneta town proper, may daan paliko ng kaliwa na pupunta ng Santa Barbara at Mapandan. Lalabas ng San Jacinto at Manaoag then Pozorobio, Sison and finally Rosario Junction. We tried this last week (though hanggang San Jacinto lang kami). Hindi ka naman mawawala kasi may mga road guides. Just try to ask some kind folks kung saan yung papunta Sta Barbara pag nasa Urdaneta ka na...

Prime Hotel is along Session road. Ganda ng view ng central business district pero ingat lang sa pollution.

mukhang init na init ka sa abroad, a! if i were you, i'd stick to baguio na lang and use your tagaytay budget to extend your stay in baguio. tagaytay is a mini, less exciting version of baguio (the only difference being the view of taal volcano and the local cuisine).

was in baguio this weekend to the enjoyment of my whole family. we usually go up in january to take advantage of the cold clime unlike during the summer months na di kasing lamig. buwelo ka lang going up marcos hi-way and you'll be fine.

[zanch]

Yup lalo na pag labas mo sa tunnel and paglampas ng flyover. Ingat lang sa mga 10 wheeler na mabagal bro tumitirik yun sa gitna para di ka mabitin sa pag akyat.

[lhandzs]

salamat po sa mga tips bossing
boss luloym gusto ko lang ipasyal family ko madalang magkasama e para makpagrelaks kami pareho from work. iniisip ko nga din na sa baguio na lang kami. boss hanren save ko yang mga town na yan. salamat din boss zanch

Is it strawberry season in Baguio? Could anyone give me directions to a reputable strawberry-picking farm (with Session Road as starting point) and how long it will take? Would like my kids to experience it kasi. Pakisagot na rin kung paano at magkano ang payment dito. Thanks!

I have been driving to Baguio all these years and the greatest and most intense hassle I have ever encountered is passing through Urdaneta. This darned city exists for only one reason and that is to make life thoroughly annoying and miserable for us motorists passing through. The public market and other commercial establishments at the main intersection are nuisance bottlenecks. That market burned down some years ago and they rebuilt a much bigger one! And recently they tore up the entire stretch of highway leading to the main intersection and but are repaving it only in small segments and at a leisurely pace at that. And, furthermore, the traffic controllers at the intersection have no sense of time since they give preference to traffic headed to and from Dagupan -- never mind the immense traffic building up along MacArthur Highway.

I don't think I will see any relief in my lifetime. Heaven knows when the next phase of the NLEX expansion will happen so as to allow us to bypass all these excruciatingly maddening bottlenecks in Tarlac and Pangasinan. The growth of tourism and commerce in the North will always be retarded if the Central Luzon impediments to faster traffic flow are not addressed. For me personally, going to Baguio will always entail night driving and a deep reservoir of patience on the road. :car:

How to go to Strawberry farm from Session road:

1. In order to be save yourself some hassle, just take the taxi from Session road and tell the driver to take you to strawberry farm (near entrance of Benguet State University last gate). It will not cost you a lot AFAIK.

2. The jeepney terminal going to La Trinidad is near Bagui City Hall.It is walking distance from session road (about 500 meters).

It is strawberry season already. Strawberries at strawberry farm costs about 100 pesos per kilo if you do the picking yourself. Im not sure about those which are hand picked already. Good luck !!

sir baka makatulong po ito papunta ng la trinidad valley.
alam ko po bandang october - november yung season nya pero di po ako sigurado, tanong nyo na lang din po sa mga local dun bago kayo pumunta para di masayang pagod nyo.



o
happy trip na lang po sa lahat ng aakyat ng baguio.

Take Bocawcan Rd. It should take you to Trinidad Valley. This is the road intersecting the road going to Naguilian.
